Kaushik, who will present the kick-off keynote on Tuesday, October 19, said, "I always love speaking at SES conferences. The audience is tremendously receptive to the message that in a channel with so much data, organizations barely scratch the surface of transforming themselves into data-driven entities. I like to share specific strategies that attendees can implement to accelerate their company's transformation. They can make changes in their everyday lives -- in how they can rethink online marketing, present analyses, and enthuse their peers."
"A study just out by the Creative Group determined that to stay current with social media developments 23% of marketing executives relied mostly on conferences and seminars and 18% relied on industry networking events," remarked Matt McGowan, publisher and head of U.S. for Incisive Media. "Our program at SES Chicago is geared towards these marketing managers, but also has lots of search and social media for the beginner and the mid-level marketer. We are assembling an expert cast that can talk about everything from beginning search to advanced search tactics to Facebook marketing tactics to video marketing strategies."
SES Chicago sessions and workshops cover topics such as pay-per-click (PPC) management, keyword research, search engine optimization (SEO), social media, local, mobile, link building, duplicate content, multiple site issues, video optimization, site optimization, usability and more. During exhibition hours on October 12 and 13, attendees will have the opportunity to see what's new in products and services, and there will be several networking events for attendees to mingle with the leading industry vendors.
