Exclusive Keynotes & Sessions

The SEM track will kick off with an in-depth keynote conversation about the future of search marketing and advice for staying competitive in an increasingly automated landscape — featuring Search Engine Land’s editor-in-chief, Ginny Marvin, Nic Darveau-Garneau, Chief Search Evangelist for Google, Vaishali De, Partner Group Program Manager for Microsoft Advertising Engineering, and Lynne Kjolso, VP, Global Search Sales & Support for Microsoft Search Advertising.

Then, it’s time for insightful, tactic-rich SEO and SEM sessions, including…

1. Google & Bing Talk Spam & Penalties: Want a behind-the-scenes view of how Google and Bing determine what’s good and what’s bad? Join Fili Wiese, former Google Search Quality team member, and Frédéric Dubut, who leads the anti-spam team at Microsoft, for a candid conversation on how both engines are fighting spam and handling manual penalties.
