SEO is Dead. Long live SEO!
by Todd Friesen, Dave Naylor, Dana Todd, Fionn Downhill and Mark Jackson
SEO is dead... No it's not... Yes it is! It's been an ongoing debate for quite some time now. So what's the truth? Does SEO still give you the necessary oomph to rocket you up the search engine charts like it used to? Or, is SEO a "just in case" best practice routine these days? Can anyone prove it does work; can anyone prove it doesn't?
We have a panel of experts for you to agree with - or disagree with. It's a totally open discussion and it's led by the most important person in the room: You! We need your real world experience, opinions and feedback.

Open Mic: SEW Black Hat, White Hat Unconferenced
Search engines provide guidelines to protect their algorithms and the integrity of their results. But these are not laws - they are what they are - guidelines. Do we really have to stick to them? What if we find a loophole or two and we can get better results if we go under the wire? Of course, that would mean only some of us were playing by the perceived rules. And the likelihood is that, the white hat practitioners may find a black hat standing on their head and pushing them down the charts. And with search and social being strongly tied together there are so many more creative ways to circumnavigate the guidelines. Should anyone care anymore whether it's black hat or white hat to get results?
Join us for our unique unconferenced session. No formal presentations - and all with a glass of your favorite beverage in your hand, of course!

View From the Top
by Matt McGowan, Mike Grehan, Seth Berman, June Bower, Chris Copeland, Daina Middleton and Giovanni Rodriguez
This is it - we've arrived. The 24/7 always connected consumer. And much as this brings so many more opportunities for marketers, it brings challenges too. Much of the received wisdom in marketing circles is undergoing reconsideration. The nature of consumer and business markets is going through major change.
Innovation in display advertising moves at pace. Banner blindness has been cured by relevancy and timeliness. Exchange traded media is changing the field of media planning and buying. Ad exchanges and real-time bidding inventory sources are rapidly emerging. And ad technology vendors and creative agencies are devising new ad units.
Social media and mobile apps all the more will see end users sidestepping the browser. And location-based services are beginning to provide newer opportunities in point of sale, couponing, and suggested discovery. Consumers are attracted to rapidly emerging third party information providers, through collaborative product review and price comparison services.
Connected Marketing is much more about the change in consumer behavior than it is about the technology available. This new generation conveniently leaves behind a huge data trail which is pure nectar for marketers. But at the same time, the end user is beginning to push back as privacy issues become more of a concern.
This panel of leading industry players in the online advertising sector will assess the current state of play and how the possibility of convergence may be closer than we think.
