That much-anticipated time of year has come once again – the time in which we all gather for one of the largest digital marketing conferences in Texas.
Today I have the privilege of inviting you to the 2018 Rocks Digital Marketing Conference.
Rocks Digital – Registration is Open for Business
There, I said it! Now all of you can go register for this year’s conference. I’ve been working behind the scenes to make 2018 our best year yet. As founder and organizer, I can certainly attest to this.
This year we’ll gather together on Friday, June 29 and Saturday, June 30 to celebrate Local Search Day and Social Media Day. You can access an agenda overview here.
Just like years prior, this Dallas-based digital marketing conference will bring together the brightest minds from around the world to share, educate, and present on the topics of Local, Social and Mobile!
2018 is seeing massive shifts in SEO, search, social media, content, branding, mobile and web development. At the core of these shifts is technology, so let’s explore this in more detail.
Artificial Intelligence is Changing the Game
In reviewing speaker submissions this year, a common theme was evident – artificial intelligence is changing the way we will all market in the future. And industries that haven’t yet been touched by this technology will soon be experiencing changes as well.
Several of the speakers this year will present on how machine learning has already changed their strategies – for the better!
Presenters Dave Szetela and Dave Davies will both be expanding on AI and how it’s impacting their niche within digital marketing.
Video Marketing is Paving the Way
As you well know, video is continuing to grow in popularity, with it being a foundational component of the marketing strategies of many local businesses and national brands.
From Goldie Chan, known for being the top LinkedIn Video Creator, to Antoine Dupont of Katapult Marketing, attendees will get the chance to learn from seasoned authorities on branding and video strategy.
Don’t Throw the Baby Out with the Bathwater
While AI, video, and ads are growing in importance as the consumer attention span is getting shorter in this overcrowded world, tried-and-true methods are still working.
Presenters will be onboard to share on website optimization, social media platforms, SEO and content strategy.
Variety is the Spice of Life
You can expect to see a few of your faves like Lance Bachmann, Bill Hartzer and Michelle Stinson Ross, plus many new-to-you faces like Sweta Patel and Tyler Sickmeyer.
Follow along over the coming weeks as each speaker and presentation description is individually announced.
