PubCon, the premier search and social media conference and expo will
hold its multi-track
Las Vegas event on November 7 - 10, 2011 at the Las Vegas Convention Center

social media training, with the official PubCon Las Vegas 2011
conference taking place on November 8 - 10. For 2011 the exhibition hall will be open on
November 9 - 10.
PubCon Las Vegas 2011, supported by the industry's leading businesses,
speakers, exhibitors, and sponsors involved in social media, Internet 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 2011 will be the biggest and boldest 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

leading search and social media professionals for PubCon Las Vegas 2011,

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.
All of our keynote speakers will bring their inspiring and groundbreaking
search and social media insight to PubCon. Look for
announcements about the very special keynote speakers we have lined
up for Las Vegas PubCon 2011.
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
2011 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 2011 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
such as "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 2011.
PubCon Las Vegas 2011 will feature many search and social media exhibitors
and
sponsors, with additional information available on the
PubCon Sponsors and
PubCon
Exhibitors pages.
