What Attendees Said About SMX Social Media

“SMX Social Media goes in the books as one of my favorite conferences, for several reasons…One, social media marketing is fun, right?….Two, it was a “who’s who” of search marketing…Three, it was a great chance to say ‘hi’ to old friends and make new ones.”
- What I Loved About (and Learned From) SMX Social Media, Small Business SEM

“SMX Social Media was a success, with informative and interesting presentations, and a laid-back fun atmosphere that made it enjoyable for all.”
- SMX Social Media NYC Day 2 Recap, Online Marketing Blog

“Danny Sullivan and the rest of the team at SMX continue to exceed my expectations. They definitely know how to put on a world class conference. Honestly, going into this conference my expectations weren’t very high. I was thinking that because it was such a small show that it wouldn’t be all that great. I couldn’t have been more wrong. Literally, there are no details that go unnoticed at SMX.”

4) To build your own schedule, just click on the plus symbol next to a session, and that will add it to your My Schedule list. Change your mind? Click the red minus symbol when shown to remove a session. Want to learn more about a session? Click on the session name for a description.

There are seats for 10 people at each table, except for the special “Lunch With A Google Search Engineer” tables, where there are only 9 spaces (the 10th is for the actual Google engineer).
 
Seats are first come, first served — and you can reserve them ahead of time. You need to do that using the Session Scheduling tool. Simply pick the lunchtable you want, then choose “Add To My Schedule.”
 
Please be aware that it is possible for more than the maximum number of people to sign-up for a particular table. Seats will only be guaranteed for those who sign-up first. If there are seats free in case someone does not show up with the lunchtime gathering officially starts (15 minutes after lunch itself begins), then the seats will be given away first come, first serve to people actually waiting at the table. IE, there is no “stand by” list we’ll be working from. So please don’t be disappointed. Book your table.
 
The tables can be found by looking for the blue tablecloths, then look for the sign that matches the topic of your table. There will be a list of all those who have reserved a seat at the table. If possible, we’ll also have individual name cards.
 
We hope you like the tools. Looking forward to seeing you at SMX West!
