Riiiiiiing! Hear that bell? It’s about that time again for eager Facebook marketers to take a seat in mama’s kitchen classroom. Starting off bright and early on Monday, February 27^th, the aimClear crew (plus one very special guest) will set up shop in sunny California’s San Jose McEnery Convention Center, rearing to talk Facebook advertising and targeting tactics (among other things), coffee in hand.

You probably already know we have a plucked, squeezed and altogether revamped curriculum for our Facebook Intensive Marketing Workshop geared up for SMX West.

Any seriously social online marketer will tell you that, for better or worse, life never slows down. Right as you wrap up one project, another one begins. While this client engagement winds down, that one skyrockets out the gate at full-force. And just when you come down off off the figurative high of a week in Las Vegas, soaking up deep knowledge from thought-leaders and networking with industry pals in the middle of a jewel-studded desert, it’s time to head to another shiny city for another week at another beloved conference.

For the aimClear crew, the next stop on our 2011 conference calendar, which last week took us to #PubCon, catapults us now to the Windy City for Search Engine Strategies Chicago. From November 15-17, the Hyatt Regency will be home to dozens of eager professionals from all walks of the online marketing industry. Among them, our own Marty Weintraub, Merry Morud, Erica Sendros and Megan Lichty will be in the crowd – presenting, moderating, and covering the event. Read on for a closer look at their schedules, as well as a sneak peek at our friend Lisa Buyer‘s special PR workshop. Read the rest of this entry »

When hardcore search nerds and beloved tech rockstars from every walk of the online marketing industry flock to America’s playground and gear up for a week of keynotes, in-depth sessions, discussion panels, mad-crazy networking events, and a little R&R along the Strip. Yes, it’s time for a true obligatory-must-attend conference: PubCon Vegas, baby.
