SEM Conferences Provide Opportunities for Growth
As a veteran of many search engine marketing (SEM) conferences, such as ad:tech, Search Engine Strategies and PubCon, I completely empathize with other professionals when they gripe about the shortcomings of attending industry events. Common complaints surrounding industry conferences include hard costs (registration, travel expenses, etc.), opportunity costs (being away from the office) and boredom. While I agree that attending SEM conferences can be expensive, the benefits usually outweigh the drawbacks. There are three primary...
What Should You Really Be Doing At Digital Marketing Conferences?
If your last digital marketing conference provided you with nothing more than a bag full of ink pens and promotional trinkets, then missed a significant opportunity to grow professionally and personally. Having attended two key digital marketing conferences in the last two months (ad:tech San Francisco as an exhibitor and Search Engine Strategies as an attendee), I have some key observations I would like to share. If you are attending digital marketing conferences, odds are...
Next Convention In Line Is NATPE
Do they have a Conventioneers Anonymous? If so, I need to go to a meeting… I am a convention junky. I LOVE going to conventions and seeing all the fun new stuff. Recently while at Affiliate Summit West, I decided to also stop by the NATPE convention. That is the National Association of Television Program Executives. There were some CRAZY products and companies here. Some of these may not apply directly to search marketing yet,...
The Third Is The Charm: MacWorld
I guess I will admit to being a convention junkie. I love going to all these conventions and seeing the latest gadgets and gizmos and especially the latest and newest technology. Case in point — my third convention in a row — MacWorld. Even though it’s for the general public, so not strictly an industry convention, it’s also a place where you see all kinds of weird and wonderful things. First, I finally got to...
Convention Highlights — T.R.A.F.F.I.C.
The next stop in the “Mike Evans around the country Affiliate Marketing Convention Tour” was the T.R.A.F.F.I.C. convention for domainers. I didn’t know what a domainer was the first time someone told me he was a domainer. Domainers are those people that just buy and sell Internet domains. That’s it. Buy a domain for seven bucks on GoDaddy and try to resell it for $20,000. Yes, they get that and more for just for a...
Recent Conventions — Affiliate Summit West
Okay, let’s break these Internet Marketing conventions down one by one. Affiliate Summit West: 4,000 attendees. Growing by 50% every six months. Wow! The only problem is the fact that the show has grown so fast that there was not enough space for all of the people and all of the companies that wanted to exhibit. I had to call up a bunch of friends until I was able to pay for half a booth...
Can You Say Five Conventions In Five Days?
Can you say five conventions in ten days? I wish I couldn’t… Affiliate Summit West, Mike Filsaime’s Affiliate Appreciation Conference, T.R.A.F.F.I.C. Domainer’s Conference, National Association of Television Producers and Executives (NATPE), and ASTDM. The last conference (ASTDM)? I never did find out what it stands for. But it was definitely the best, at least for me. One great thing about conventions as far as journalists are concerned is the press pass. The New York Times...
