Search marketing isn’t just changing; it has become a whole new beast.
- SEO has changed to king AI Overview, search everywhere with optimization, and consider independent AI agents that browse on behalf of users. Demonstrating credibility, digital authority, and precise alignment with user intent is even more important now.
- On the PPC side, productive AI and deep automation are driving unprecedented personalization, but marketers are facing new challenges: How to maintain strategic control, preserve data privacy, and prevent waste?
If you are a passionate search marketer with a passion for sharing knowledge please consider submitting a pitch for an SMX Next session. We’re looking for subject matter experts to share insights, strategies, and tactics to help SEO and PPC marketers thrive in 2027.
Whether you’ve been speaking for years or you’re a doctor ready to share something new you’ve done, we welcome your voice. We are actively seeking new speakers with diverse points of view and real-world experience.
The deadline for SMX Next pitches is Aug. 7.
Here are a few tips for submitting a compelling session proposal:
- Present the first impression: Focus on advanced, trending topics or unique structures that are not often covered by other search events.
- Focus on being able to: Include specific details about what attendees will be able to do better, faster, or differently as a result of your session.
- Bring data: Back up your theory with a case study or specific examples, explaining how it can be measured in different types of organizations.
- Keep it focused: Be realistic about what you can present in 30 minutes. Going deeper into a small or specialized topic provides more value than a broad overview.
- Provide tangible takeaways: Make sure attendees leave with a clear plan or outline they can use immediately.
