New York, NY (PRWEB) February 15, 2010

A study by online trade show publication Tradeshow Week has determined the most popular reasons conference attendees decide to attend trade shows. The top two reasons are as follows:


84% of trade show attendees attend to “keep up to date on trends and issues.”
82% of trade show attendees attend to “see new products.”

Search Engine Strategies (SES) New York, the premiere search marketing conference for over a decade has long been known as a venue both to keep up to date on the latest developments in the industry and to explore and discover new products. It is being held from March 22-26, 2010 at the New York Hilton, and will offer presentations, panels and networking events for marketing professionals working in the search engine optimization (SEO) and pay-per-click (PPC) arenas. Marketers can register for the conference at a discounted rate through February 19.

“96% of CEOs agree that no matter tight budgets, going to trade shows is vital,” remarked Matt McGowan, Publisher and Head of U.S. for Incisive Media. “I personally think it’s more important now than ever, in fact. Competition is fierce for every last dollar your marketing budget can get you and, if you don’t keep up to date on the latest issues, there is a good chance you will be left behind. You can be sure your competitors will be attending SES New York, so to even keep up with the rest of the industry, attending trade shows like SES is very important.”

Sessions that will appeal to those attending SES New York primarily to keep up to date on trends and issues include:
