Having worked in the digital marketing and e-commerce field over the past 9 years, I’ve been very fortunate and grateful for the opportunity to see the industry grow. During this exciting time, I attended multiple conferences that focused on a wide range of topics, perspectives, and of course, innovation.
Attending conferences in any industry is the surest way to stay on top of your professional game. This is especially true for anyone working in digital fields, and is an important component of understanding the space in which your industry is heading towards. Here are the top 10 SEO & SEM conferences you can’t miss out on in 2017!
1. SMX Advanced (Seattle, WA in June)
This conference is by far my favourite one on the list. SMX Advanced is a conference specifically geared towards experienced Search Engine Marketing (SEM) experts. You’ll have the chance to meet industry experts from Google, Bing and many other reputable businesses. Bing usually sponsors the SMX After Dark event at the Seattle Aquarium, which is a really cool place to be. Another added perk? If you plan on staying an extra few days, it’s well worth the time to go and hike up Mount Rainier.
