I’m excited to share some news with you all…
Following a successful 4 years of running conferences in the UK and US, we’re now looking to expand to the West Coast of America. We’ve been having an absolute blast over the past few years hosting conferences and meetup events in London, New Orleans, Boston and New York. Over the 4 years we have had up on stage no less than 140 incredible presenters, watched by a total of 2581 online marketers! Were you one of them?
They certainly look like happy attendees! Let’s see what they had to say about the conferences:
“I take my hat off to Distilled. 2 days packed full of the best speakers in the industry providing insightful and actionable SEO advice. I was lucky enough to be selected for a live site review at the event. Suffice to say, having 4 of the top SEO’s in the industry critique your site and give you actionable advice that could help grow your business is invaluable. We even got a few citations!! Thanks to all the Distilled team who were amazing throughout.” Ed Jones – Firebrand Training
“SearchLove 2012 was my first SEO conference and I have to say – I was blown away. Relevant topics, fact based analysis, real-life examples and engaging speakers gave sound advice and really reminded me why I love SEO. I’ll definitely be back next year.” James Bavington – Creare Group
No 20 minute fluffy talks here.. SearchLove is a no-holds-barred, in depth menagerie of quality marketing gold dust. Philip Wilkinson – Kopi
Blown away by every single presenter so far today at #searchlove. Well done. (cc) @leximills @ipullrank @davidmihm @benwills — Brittan Bright (@BrittanBright) November 6, 2012
RT @wilreynolds: Love how @distilled scours the industry finding new presenters for #searchlove – keeps me learning +1 (keeps me on point) — Richard Baxter (@richardbaxter) October 31, 2012
Looking forward to #SearchLove London…always the best conference of the year! @distilled — Stu Owens (@samuistu) October 18, 2012
Just had a bacon sandwich and massage in the break at #searchlove . Living the dream people. Living the dream. Thanks @distilled — Matt Boseley (@LampshadeWeb) October 30, 2012
Sounds like fun, right? If you fancy being another one of our happy attendees, and you’d like to attend a conference with a difference this September (think resort location, relaxed atmosphere and real one-on-one time with expert speakers) on the sunny West Coast of America, then sign up here to express your interest.
Plus, we want to get you all involved. Why not help us to decide the exact location of the conference by suggesting your own favourite hangout hot spots! We’ve been looking at San Diego and Santa Barbara, sound fun? Let us know if you have a better idea (E: events@distilled.net).
Lynsey Little is the Events Manager for our search conferences in the UK and US, based out of the London office. She can often be found running around the conference venues in a red dress.
In the immortal words of Katy Perry, “West Coast represent, now put your hands up”.
Realistically, San Diego would be better for transportation. Santa Barbara doesn’t have a major airport and around September/October (when school starts again) all of the hotels are booked solid. San Diego has a lot of hotel capacity and some nice places.
