Conference for experienced search engine marketers expands, SMX Advanced London scheduled for May 2010; SMX Advanced Seattle event dates set for June 8-9

Redding, CT: November 10, 2009 – The producers of Search Marketing Expo announced dates for SMX Advanced in 2010, including the addition of a London edition of the search engine marketing conference.

For the first time in 2010, SMX Advanced will be produced in London on May 17-18 at the newly renovated Grand Connaught Rooms, Covent Garden. SMX Advanced London will be produced in association with specialist business event producer Rising Media.

SMX Advanced Seattle will be held June 8-9 at the Bell Harbor International Conference Center in Seattle, WA. SMX Advanced has been enthusiastically supported by the search marketing community since its debut in 2007; the conference has sold out each year.

“SMX Advanced’s unique formula of expert content presented in intimate environments resulted in sold out Seattle shows three years in a row,” said Danny Sullivan, SMX Advanced program chair. “Adding London allows us to bring the winning SMX Advanced formula closer to the European audiences who want that expert material, yet still preserve the networking-friendly atmosphere that SMX Advanced is known for,” he added.

“Topics at Advanced are discussed at a very high level, so there’s no slowing down to bring beginners up to speed. This format isn’t for everyone, but experienced search marketers have embraced Advanced enthusiastically.” Sullivan said.
