A new session format is taking the SES Conference series by storm, and its coming to SES London in February. The Meet the Experts Roundtable is an hour-long session within the conference agenda that allows you to meet top speakers, authors, and practitioners and have all of your questions answered. Each of ten concurrent roundtables centres on a specific topic and features two experts. You can simply move from one table to another throughout the session, meeting a wide range of specialists and coming away with solutions to your

Potential topics include:
Facebook Ad Formats

SEO, PPC, SMO: Trends for 2012
Local and Social
Optimising Landing Pages
Mobile, Search, and Social
SEO Content Marketing
Enterprise SEO
Link Building
Conversion, Testing,
and Analytics

Email Marketing
Information Architecture
Metrics for SEO

Generating Leads from
SEO and PPC
Both sessions take place immediately before a networking function (a drinks reception on day 1 and lunch on day 2), enabling you to take
your conversations straight into the bar or to lunch, where you can continue to network.
This roundtable has been cited by many attendees as the best session at the whole conference, so we are excited about featuring it at SES
London. We look forward to seeing you there!
