SMX 2021 will provide the most comprehensive search marketing education available

“The pandemic has profoundly changed how search marketing professionals will learn the latest SEO and PPC strategies and tactics. Getting that training won’t require hours of planning, a week out of the office and an investment of thousands of dollars,” said Chris Elwell, CEO of SMX producer Third Door Media, Inc. “The online editions of SMX we produced in 2020 proved the viability of providing an outstanding educational experience that’s interactive and measurable,” Elwell added.

The lineup features six unique, 100%-virtual training opportunities priced between $99 and $249 — each with its own focus and target audience:

• SMX Report – February 23: A one-day event focused on delivering proven strategies and tactics to measure and analyze search marketing success.

• SMX Create – April 13: A one-day event that will empower marketers to create and distribute compelling content and ad copy.

• SMX Advanced – June 15-16: An experts-only, two-day event designed for advanced marketers who want to take paid and organic campaigns to greater heights.

• SMX Convert – August 17: A one-day event that trains marketers to effectively optimize paid search campaigns and leverage on-SERP elements for stronger conversions.

• SMX Next – November 9-10: A two-day event featuring next-gen strategies, emerging tactics, and expert insights that will prepare search marketers for the future.

• SMX Code – December 14: A one-day event where marketers can master emerging tactics in optimizing javascript, ad scripting, advanced analytics commands, and more.

All sessions are available for both live and on-demand viewing so attendees can balance their professional and personal lives with their commitment to continued training. Deep-dive workshops will be available during select events for an additional fee.

“SMX has always been about offering the best search marketing education for staying on top of this always evolving discipline,” said Henry Powderly, VP of content for Third Door Media. “With virtual events making it far easier for marketers to attend, we saw this as a great opportunity to offer more actionable intelligence to the community through targeted shows that go deep on concentrations like search analytics, content strategy, and code-based optimization.

“The pandemic economy has caused businesses to embrace the importance search in connecting with customers,” he said. “The Search Engine Land experts who program SMX see it as our mission to raise the skill set of all marketers who find themselves leaning on this essential channel.”

In addition to the aforementioned 2021 events, region-specific SMX events will be produced by Third Door Media’s European partner, Rising Media of Starnberg, Germany, in Germany, the UK, and France.
