Public relations (PR) professionals, journalists and marketers will find much valuable information and many networking opportunities at Search Engine Strategies (SES) New York 2010 to be held at the New York Hilton, March 22- 26. With the transition to online PR, SES New York programming staff will be featuring a plethora of sessions designed to introduce attendees to the state of public relations in 2010 and beyond.

SES New York, the industry’s largest search engine marketing (SEM) conference, will attract more than 5,000 marketers who come to learn about the latest trends and issues and see the newest search products. The conference offers presentations, panels and networking events for marketing professionals working in mainstream marketing and the search engine optimization (SEO) and pay-per-click (PPC) arenas.

“Recent feedback on our conference programming reflects that PR people are looking to the search community for guidance on how to deal with the new world that combines SEO and public relations,” said Matt McGowan, Publisher and Head of U.S. for Incisive Media. “So we decided to feature sessions and speakers tailor made for the PR industry.
