The SEMpdx Board is pleased to announce that SEOmoz CEO Rand Fishkin will be the keynote speaker at Searchfest 2008.
I’m going to assume that for most blog readers, giving a mini-bio of Rand isn’t necessary… however, for those folks new to the search industry that don’t know who Rand Fishkin is (and they have to be VERY NEW not to know who Rand Fishkin is), they can read more about Rand’s background here.
SEMpdx will be announcing more Searchfest speakers shortly.
