Stop searching. Start growing.

The SEM for SMB Conference is a two-day business and career focused event with a unique formula. No sales pitches; just hands-on training with search engine marketing, search engine optimization, and pay-per-click advertising. This conference is unlike any other event. Education first, with no fluff. Sessions include topics for business and technical-minded attendees. Great meals and beverages are included for all registered attendees, speakers and partners - NO box lunches. An innovative online system is provided for registering and connecting with peers but also provides access to recorded presentations during AND after the conference. You'll not only leave the conference with new skills, but you will retain valuable connections that will help grow your business.

The conference is open to the public and registration is provided on a first-come first serve basis. The conference attracts an average of 300-500 professionals from around the world.
