A Successful SMX Israel 2012

Fetched: January 19th, 2012, 7:09pm CET by Barry Schwartz

Tags: Search Marketing Expo 2012 Israel
This past Sunday, January 15, 2012, I chaired SMX Israel in Jerusalem at the Inbal Hotel.
I have to say, the conference just felt good. People were networking, sponsors were showing off their wares, speakers were educating and the attendees were absorbing information and asking questions.
We never had so many people, so many speakers and honestly, I was nervous it would take away from the personality of the previous events. But if anything, it made the conference so much better. Planning it was an exhausting few months, but it paid off!
Let me share with you some of the news/blog coverage I found across the web from the event:
- Best of SMX Israel 2012, managinggreatness.com
- SMX Israel 2012 - Google Panda, Freshness and More, State of Search

There is even forum coverage of it in Hebrew at SEOForums.co.il.
Here is an outstanding video of how things looked from the event by Natan Epstien who produced the film an Israel Tech Company.
You can catch a lot of the buzz, pictures, slides and so on from #smxisrael on Twitter. Plus, the Real Streets of Jerusalem posted a ton of pictures on Facebook in three parts. They include SMX Israel Part I, SMX Israel Part II and SMX Israel Part III.
Hillel Fuld shared a picture of the Google shwag at the event, Yaniv posted a picture of his badge and Nekuda posted one of my favorite pictures.
Of course a huge thanks to our sponsors: Majestic SEO, Analytics Ninja, Universal McCann Search, Mad Mimi, Go Internet Marketing, Rapid Fire, Responder.co.il, SEO Genie, Sorezki, SEFO, iSEO and Viruous Online.

Fetched: January 10th, 2012, 8:23pm CET by Barry Schwartz

Tags: Search Marketing Expo 2012 Israel

SMX Israel is this Sunday and I need to give the hotel a final count of attendees tomorrow. To encourage the people who always 'wait until the last minute' to do things, especially like this, I have to increase the price of the ticket from $150 to $200 tomorrow.
If you plan on attending SMX Israel, then please register now over here.
Why now?
(1) Prices up to to $200. So you can save $50 by registering now.
(2) We have less than 70 seats left and likely will sell out, so register now.
If you have friends thinking about coming but are not sure, encourage them to make a yes/no decision today.
Once the price goes up, I will not be doing any "favors" for anyone.
Huge thanks to our sponsors: Majestic SEO, Analytics Ninja, Universal McCann Search, Mad Mimi, Go Internet Marketing, Rapid Fire, Responder.co.il, SEO Genie, Sorezki, SEFO, iSEO and Viruous Online.
The Inbal Hotel has done some huge network upgrades to make sure they can handle the bandwidth requirements of our 500+ attendees. Please thank them when you see them at the event. They are sponsoring the Wifi for free.
