Read what some of your peers have said about their time at SMX...

"I loved what you are doing here, thank you so much. I cannot even think of much to improve this, just really thankful for the information shared and the chance to feel part of the community." Janina Guthke, Sr. SEO Content Strategist, Expedia

"I thought overall everything ran pretty dang smoothly and loved the Q&A follow-ups to the sessions." Gabrielle Roman, Content Strategist, Signal Theory

"It was packed with so many great sessions!" Laurie Berger, SEO Managing Editor, Yelp

"I attended SMX 2012 in NY and learned a lot, as I was just beginning to learn about SEO. Ten years later, I am now back in a position where we have an initiative to improve our SEO for three websites. SMX was very timely, at least for me. In fact, just the week prior to my registration, I was telling my boss about this conference. The online classes are fantastic! First of all, they were free, so it was very easy to convince my boss to have two days to study this topic more in-depth. Secondly, it has been extremely helpful to go back and watch the videos again to catch things that I missed the first time around!!" LaBron Mathews, Lead Gen Manager, ExpoDisplays

"I love the practical examples many of the presenters used rather than theoretical conversation." Kim Hoggan, Paid Search Analyst, Storable

"Please keep the virtual format. It's gorgeous 🙂 I was able to attend during my work day!" Susanne Nauroth, SEO Manager, Dub.de

"This was my first SMX in some time, and first virtual SMX event – and I think it went very well. There were many time blocks that I would’ve loved to be in two places at one time, but having access to recordings after the fact was really helpful for those instances." Eric Lander, Director of Marketing Operations, Haskell

"Speaker topics were on par with the growing search environment. I was very pleased." Benjamin Kent, SEO Manager, Known

"I really enjoy the fact that I can go back and view videos I had missed. I like the format and the way it was laid out." Aaron Esmark, Paid Media Specialist, Clayton Homes

"The presenters were very organized and knowledgeable. The material is available for us to download. All sessions recordings are available so that we can catch up on what we’ve missed. The sessions started and ended precisely at the designated time. All was perfect! Thank you for your effort and time <3" Huda Gamal, Content Lead, adam.ai

"I thought you did an excellent job all around. This was my first time attending and I was impressed." Joe Walter, Owner, SearchWurx LLC
