Bruce Clay, Inc. First Premier Sponsor of SMX

We’re proud to announce that Bruce Clay, Inc. has been named the first premier sponsor of Danny Sullivan’s Search Marketing Expo. The conference will be held June 4-5 at the state-of-the-art Bell Harbor Convention Center on pier 66 and will be limited to just 300 (!) paid attendees. Combine the overwhelming amount of support that hit when Danny announced his departure with the extremely limited number of spaces available and you have an event that is absolutely a Must Attend.

With everyone wanting in, we predict these tickets are either going to end up on eBay, be scalped at the door, or be traded for a search marketers’ first born!

But wait, there’s more!

In order to have a little fun, we’ll be giving away a free pass to one lucky Bruce Clay client of tools, training, or services over the next five months. The drawing will be held approximately two weeks before the event. Contest details are still be ironed out, so keep your eyes peeled to blog.

Search Marketing Expo will be geared toward advanced search engine optimization and search marketing techniques, so no tired Fundamentals Track at this one. Think of it as Search Engine Strategies goes to college. I’m anxious to hear who the speakers will be and what they are going to work up. The bar has just been raised. (And I’m sure the bar will a popular location at this event!)

An advanced conference series is something that is in dire need for the industry. Search marketing is growing up and those of us who have been around for a few years and learned the basics are thirsty to learn more. Danny and his crew will offer an entirely fresh look at our industry and you’re going to want to be there.

If I’m sounding a little jittery it’s because I’m through-the-roof excited about this one. I think it’s great that Danny has stepped up to the challenge of offering an advanced conference and Bruce Clay, Inc. is thrilled to be a part of it. Danny Sullivan is a leader in our industry and we have an enormous amount of respect for him.

I cannot wait for June. I hope I can sit still long enough to blog it.
