I and Neil Patel, my co-chair from ACS, are thrilled that the agenda for our first SMX Social Media show is now posted (and special thanks to Rand Fishkin over at SEOmoz for his thoughts and input). The show is designed to orient and help you market successfully through the growing number of social media sites. Spaces at this show are extremely limited — even more limited than our SMX Advanced show earlier this year that sold out. Don’t be disappointed. Seriously — you’ll want to register as soon as possible not only to save but to ensure you get a ticket. Interested in speaking? See this page. See you all in New York!

Interested in speaking at SMX Social Media 2007 in New York this October? Hang on! Please, really, hang on to those pitches! We’ll have information on when and how to pitch on this page sometime during the week of July 23. If you start sending now, you’ll risk your pitches being lost in the shuffle. Just keep an eye on this page!

Here’s a sample of what you said about the show:

Really enjoyed the sessions, very informative.
–Emma Cockburn, AvenueA – Razorfish

I loved the experience, the whole conference and Seattle. I think it was intimate (it was easy to chat with the SEO stars), useful and tons of fun…Overall, I had a great time and came out feeling like I was in sync with the rest of the industry. It set me back in the right “SEO” direction.
–Anne-Marie Castonguay, Luxury Retreats International

Great conference, definitely the best we’ve been to. The Q&A portion of each session alone made it worth it. It was energizing.
–Lynne Polischuik, Mezine.com Inc

SMX Advanced was great! Absolutely the best event I have ever attended.
–Adam Killam

This conference was great - more information and insight into SEO & PPC given in 2 days versus the other 4 day conferences.
–Jennifer Doerschuk, The Karcher Group

Don’t miss the next SMX, and to show you how much confidence I have in this group’s talent and abilities, I will personally guarantee your ticket price if you leave the next SMX without feeling it was worth twice the price you paid.
–Paul J. Bruemmer, Director Search Marketing Red Door Interactive in Pandia Search Marketing News
