marketing, search engines, and online advertising, will offer a week-long
look at the future of technology presented by many of the world's top
speakers.
PubCon Las Vegas 2010
conference will be the biggest and most important gathering of search and
social media innovators we have ever assembled, offering an unrivaled
highly-productive conference experience at cost-effective rates, and with
the leading technology and online marketing visionaries who will be in Las
Vegas, we are confident that every attendee will come away with valuable new
ideas and solutions for their businesses.
PubCon truly starts where other search and social media conferences end,
and during our Las Vegas conference in November a rare vision for the future
will be presented by a virtual who's who of technology. Join thousands of
leading search and social media professionals for PubCon Las Vegas 2010, and

Some of the key players shaping the future of the Web and in particular social
media have come to PubCon over the years to tell their stories and share their
visions with our attendees.
PubCon Las Vegas 2010 kickoff keynote will
feature noted author and
New York Times technology columnist David Pogue. Pogue, who has written
The Times's popular State of the Art column for the past decade, will
offer his unique and insightful take on the latest social media initiatives
to PubCon Las Vegas 2010 attendees.
All of
our keynote speakers will bring their inspiring and groundbreaking search
and social
media insight to PubCon. Look for
announcements about
the the very special final keynote
speaker we have lined up for Las Vegas PubCon 2010.
Many of these top speakers who will present sessions in Las Vegas consider
PubCon to be their favorite event, and their enthusiasm for PubCon Las Vegas
2010 will be apparent as attendees will be treated to insights and research
that just won't be shared at any other conference but PubCon.
We feel that it's important for PubCon attendees to gain valuable "take-aways"
from sessions,
and that's why we provide every full conference pass holder with a CD containing
the conference presentation files, mailed out immediately after the conclusion of PubCon,
as a way to say "thank you" and to help you keep implementing the plans and
insight presented in our sessions throughout the year and long into the future.
At Las Vegas PubCon 2010 Twitter and other
social media services
will play a larger role than ever.
All aspects of successfully using Twitter and location-aware services
such as FourSquare and Gowalla will be covered by marketing, social media,
search and programming experts, with multiple tracks featuring sessions
including "Killer Twitter Apps, Services, and API Trends," "Experts on PR and Twitter," and
other unique offerings such as
"Twitter Landscape - Hot Trends and Topics," that promise to take
social media insight to new heights.
"PubCon is going to be so well-documented on Twitter," Google head of Web
spam Matt Cutts said at our PubCon South event in Austin, Texas. His
prediction came true as discussion about PubCon using the #PubCon hash tag
became Twitter's most popular term for a period during that conference, and
conference-goers enjoyed tweeting questions to speakers and fellow audience
members during many sessions, a trend that is sure to continue to an even
greater extent during Las Vegas PubCon
2010.
PubCon Las Vegas 2010 will feature many search and social media
exhibitors and sponsors, with additional information available on the
PubCon Sponsors and
PubCon Exhibitors pages.

conversations
about more than 20 social media and Internet marketing subjects.

opportunity to get close to some of PubCon's top speakers and spend time discussing
the
industry topics they know the best, all in a relaxed shared environment around a
lunch table.
