Redding, CT (PRWEB) November 2, 2009

Search engine marketing conference Search Marketing Expo – SMX West will be held March 2-4, 2010 in Santa Clara, California.

SMX West will begin with a fireside chat between Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer and Danny Sullivan, editor-in-chief of SearchEngineLand.com and SMX co-chair. This conversation marks the first time Mr. Ballmer will address the search marketing community at an industry event.

“I’m thrilled Steve’s participating in his first ever search marketing conference” said Sullivan. “Microsoft’s Bing has attracted real attention and buzz, and it’s wonderful to have the person at the very top coming out to talk about the progress so far and the future vision with search marketers.”

SMX West is programmed by search authorities Danny Sullivan and Chris Sherman, the editors of the leading news blog for internet and search engine marketers, SearchEngineLand.com. SMX West will feature three jam-packed days with over 50 sessions of cutting edge content on search engine optimization (SEO), paid search advertising (PPC), social media marketing, local and mobile search marketing and search-friendly design and development. The program also features the SMX Boot Camp, a series of sessions designed to get beginners up to speed.

The full agenda for SMX West 2010 will be posted mid December. Until then, those who register can take advantage of the lowest-available pre-agenda rate. A $ 1095 All Access pass includes all of the exceptional content, online and off-line networking activities, and the essential conveniences like WiFi in session rooms and hot lunches SMX events provide.
