#BrightonSEO Speakers Announced – Free Conference July 23rd
I have a couple of very exciting pieces of news to announce about the forthcoming #brightonseo free half day conference.
First of all we have an evening venue confirmed. We’ll be returning to BrightonSEO’s sprititual home of upstairs The Quadrant, where Tim Aldis of FreshEgg has very kindly offered to put some money behind the bar, along with refreshments during the afternoon courtesy of SiteVisibility.
This is of course after the daytime element which we will be holding from 1.30PM at Community Base.
But onto the bigger second piece of news the speaker line-up.
We’ve been lucky enough to have a deluge of speaker applications from some of the UK SEO industries leading lights. Sorry to the people I couldn’t squeeze in this time. It’s surprised me just how many people wanted to get involved.
We’ll be sticking to the popular conference format of three fifteen minute talks per session followed by fifteen minute q&a; so we can squeeze in as much high quality SEO-ness as is humanly possible with out some kind of time travel device.
