Austin, Texas-based WebmasterWorld Inc., one of the Web’s oldest and most authoritative Web

technology message forum communities, with roots dating back to the mid-1980s computer bulletin board systems, has been acquired by Clifton Park, New York-based Internet Marketing Ninjas, a full service Internet marketing firm with a stellar reputation dating back to 1999.

 

“Internet Marketing Ninjas, led by company founder Jim Boykin, is the ideal match for WebmasterWorld,” said Pubcon and WebmasterWorld founder and chief executive Brett Tabke. “I couldn’t have asked for a better situation than a long-time member acquiring WebmasterWorld,” Tabke added.

Pubcon Las Vegas Introduces New Open Mic Track

Every year, one of our ongoing goals is to add one new thing to the overall mix of the educational sessions, networking and tradeshow aspects of Pubcon. This year, we are putting some power back into the hands of the attendees. For the first time at any major conference, Pubcon will offer attendees the chance to speak and give their own presentation during our first "Open Mic Track" this October 15 – 18 at the Las Vegas Convention Center. With more than 200 top speakers featured in over 130 sessions within at least ten daily conference tracks, Pubcon Las Vegas 2012 is the year’s biggest and best new media and optimization conference.

 

With thousands of the most tech-savvy professionals in the online world gathered in one amazing

place for a week of social media and search marketing education and networking, Pubcon Las Vegas 2012 is the perfect place to get up on stage yourself for ten minutes and make a TED-like presentation on the industry topic of your choice in the Pubcon Open Mic Track.

 

Open to gold and platinum pass attendees only, the Pubcon Open Mic Track gives you a great opportunity to showcase your take on any of the wide range of topics covered during the conference, or even yourself or your company or service.

 

Bring your own ten minute PowerPoint presentation or engage your audience with just the open mic,

A Pubcon session moderator will time each session to ensure that every presentation finishes up in ten minutes, allowing for a free-flowing day of exciting new Pubcon Open Mic Track speakers.

 

An e-mail will be sent to gold and platinum pass attendees several weeks before the show with guidelines and signup information.

feel would be relevant to Pubcon attendees, or want to hone your public speaking skills, consider joining us for the new Pubcon Open Mic Track.

PUBCON INNOVATION

 

With the introduction of our new Open Mic Track at Pubcon Las Vegas 2012, we strive to continue

Pubcon’s long history of bringing exciting and important innovations to the thousands who attend the premier search and social media conference.

 

For more than a dozen years Pubcon has broken new conference ground, pioneering numerous innovations that have since become widely used in the industry.

 

Long before the so-called unconference became popular, Pubcon held its first conference in a pub — London’s Cittie of Yorke — a tradition we’ve kept each year since 2000 and which since then has been widely implemented by other industry conferences.

 

Pubcon was the first major conference aside from TED to give its speakers an entire session alone in

front of attendees, with the introduction of the Pubcon Expert Spotlight Sessions, now a popular staple offered in an entire conference-long track of sessions at Pubcon.

 

A decade ago it was unheard of for a conference to sacrifice significant amounts of exhibit hall floor space for an attendee networking lounge. We introduced this innovation seven years ago as just one more way that Pubcon provides the maximum number of opportunities for attendees to creatively network with one another.

 

Other Pubcon conference innovations have included the introduction of an entire track of live website review sessions, featuring always-fascinating and informative critique and advice of

attendee-submitted sites by a panel of leading digital marketers, and Pubcon’s early “Bloggers Night Out” events, which since 2007 have let hundreds of Pubcon attendees see some of the hottest shows in Las Vegas in exchange for social media discussion, including Blue Man Group, Cirque du Soleil, Monty Python’s Spamalot and others.

 

Pubcon has also innovated in its dedication to the support of charities such as the American Cancer Society and, most recently, to environmentally-friendly green conference practices.

 

Register today for Pubcon Las Vegas 2012 at some of the fairest prices in the industry, and take part in the year’s biggest social media and search conference, featuring top keynote speakers including Dr. Robert Cialdini, professor emeritus of psychology and marketing at Arizona State University, social psychologist, and author of the bestselling book “Influence: Science & Practice,” who will present the kickoff keynote address, with additional keynotes by Google head quality control engineer and webspam team leader Matt Cutts and Shakil Khan, head of special projects at social journal start-up Path and well-known former head of special projects at Spotify.

 

Thanks,
Team Pubcon

Path.com And Spotify Head Of Special Projects Shakil Khan To Keynote Pubcon

Pubcon, the premier social media and optimization conference, is thrilled to announce a major

keynote address by Shakil Khan, well-known head of special projects at Spotify, to take place during Pubcon Las Vegas 2012 on October 15 – 18 at the Las Vegas Convention Center.

 

Khan — known as Shak — was instrumental in the growth of phenomenally popular online music service Spotify, and has been a longtime contributor to WebmasterWorld.com as well as an early Pubcon supporter.

Khan was an early investor in Spotify, where he has retained a role as an adviser to co-founder and chief executive Daniel Ek, and he is certain to light up Pubcon Las Vegas 2012 with his keynote presentation in October.

 

Khan joined WebmasterWorld’s message forums in 2002 and was a founding member of the popular “Forum 78” dedicated to Google advertising. As a self proclaimed “start-up guy,” Khan has had a number of online businesses in the U.K. since 2000 and was part of the founding team at buy.at which went on to be acquired by AOL.

 

Khan has done extensive volunteer work as an ambassador for charity : water, having helped raise millions of dollars for clean and safe drinking water. Having lived in China, Khan speaks Chinese (as well as English, Urdu, Punjabi, and Danish) and currently divides his time between London, San Francisco and airport lounges. Khan is an investor in SecondMarket, Top10, Spotify and Path.

 

Register for Pubcon Las Vegas 2012 and join Khan along with additional top speakers including Dr. Robert Cialdini, professor emeritus of psychology and marketing at Arizona State University, social psychologist, and author of the bestselling book “Influence: Science & Practice,” Google head quality control engineer and webspam team leader Matt Cutts, and more than 200 other leading social media and search speakers for a week in sunny Las Vegas.

 

Join Khan and thousands of the most tech-savvy attendees for a week of new media and search marketing insights led by more than 200 of the world’s best speakers in a stellar lineup featuring over 130 sessions and at least nine cutting-edge topic tracks, along with a full day of optional Pubcon Masters Group training in the entertainment capital of the world.
