Todd Mintz Will Be Moderating SEMpdx Searchfest 08

Hey y’all.

I just want to let folks know that I’ll be moderating a few sessions at our upcoming Searchfest event.

The first session that I will be moderating will be “Links & Search: Strategies for Success” which will feature Rebecca Kelley from SEOmoz, Adam Audette from Audette Media, and Dustin Woodard from Wetpaint. Despite the relative youth of the panel (they were the understudies for the SMX teenage panel if the kids couldn’t get out of school that day…nah, maybe I shouldn’t say that :.) ), each panel member brings a tremendous amount of real world experience in this most crucial SEO skill. Each panel member will explore a unique facet of the linkbuilding process and I expect the audience to take home many actionable items from our panelists.

I will also be moderating the John Andrews “Search Marketing (SEO) & Your Business Strategy” session. I sat on a panel with John at last year’s Domain Roundtable and was impressed enough by his knowledge to immediately invite him to speak at Searchfest. John has always been interested in the application of SEO to real world business situations and I expect his talk to mirror the direct nature of his blog.

Finally, I will be moderating Matt McGee’s presentation on Small Business SEO. A strong core of our audience will be “Small Businessmen (and Women)” and Matt will give those folks some tips and tricks on some easy things they can do themselves to drive traffic and leads to their website.

I’ve exchanged emails with a lot of folks that will be at Searchfest 08 and I’m looking forward to meeting each and every one of you. Now, because I wear sunglasses in my avatar, I might be hard to recognize at the event…therefore, I’m providing you with another picture that you can use to try to pick me out of a crowd…
