After years of following the latest search engine optimization and emarketing trends, applying what I&#8217;ve learnt through hands-on SEO experience with sites big and small in South Africa, the United Kingdom, US, India, Brazil and many others. Finally, an opportunity arises to attend THE Search Marketing Conference to top all search marketing conferences.</p>
<p>I am still undecided to which talks to attend after looking at the awesome agenda, 50+ sessions on SEO, PPC, social media, local &amp; mobile search, plus the line-up of keynote speakers at SMX East 2009 is mind-blowing.</p>
<p>The biggest draw card of SMX East 2009 must be the awesome networking opportunities it presents. Personally, I am looking forward to sharing the SEO experiences from a South African perspective with you.</p>
<p><strong>If you are attending SMX East this year I&#8217;d love to connect with you.</strong> This will be my first trip to New York City and am really looking forward to it. Let&#8217;s connect! <em>If you are attending SMX East 2009 follow me on <a title="rafiq phillips twitter" href="http://twitter.com/rafiq">twitter @rafiq,</a> simply post a comment below. Let&#8217;s put faces to the Avatars</em></p>
