Quality programming All of the SMX sessions I described above are what we call editorial sessions . People talk about it because we think they have good information to offer. In other words, no one bought their place on a billboard . Sessions are curated by Search Engine Land's editorial team, so you'll know the content and quality are worth Shadow Making the investment. We guarantee it! Session formats vary. Sometimes we have panels with several people. Sometimes we only have one or two speakers. Some panels are all questions and answers. Some Shadow Making features PowerPoint presentations and some are free. We don't lock ourselves into a particular format, as different topics require different approaches. Instead, we focus on creating an overall great experience.
The editorial portion of Shadow Making the show is overseen by me and my co-chair Danny Sullivan. We've been hosting research conferences longer than anyone in the industry - over 15+ years! Freebies: Expo Hall, SMX Theater and More Sessions Our SMX West sponsors and exhibitors have great information to share with attendees. Here are several ways to connect Shadow Making with them: Our sponsor and partner tracker offers Plus sessions, which are created and produced by the sponsoring company. Sponsors know they're competing for your attention as you choose from high-quality editorial sessions. This leads them to want to match the value and quality that our editorial sessions set. We Shadow Making will also have a handful of pre-session “Solutions Spotlights” where sponsors will offer a short presentation of their product or service. The Hall Expo runs from March 1-2. You'll find innovative products and services to improve performanc.
It's every search marketer's dream! SMX Theater presentations are sponsored mini-sessions lasting 20 minutes each in the Expo hall. Presenters frequently Shadow Making cover case studies - they're a great way to learn about a company, product, service, or topic.
