ILM East Update: Check Out Our New Speakers and Events
ILM East is shaping up as a major landmark conference. Since our last update, we have many new “adds” to the agenda, and it looks like we’re going to have a really big and prestigious event.
Even before it begins, there is lots of stuff happening. we’ve added an exciting trip out to The Boston Globe’s Media Lab, where the Globe’s innovative team will show off some of the thinking and products they’ve developed (limited seating). And for those who want to stay at the venue, Local SEO Guide’s Andrew Shotland will provide a practical and compelling guide to cutting-edge search and social strategies. Andrew’s insights are one-of-a-kind.
We’ve previously announced our conference headliners, which include Groupon Vice Chair and AmEx Bboard member Ted Leonsis; American Express’ SVP of Social Strategy Leslie Berland; CityGrid Media leader Jay Herratti; New York Magazine’s digital czar Michael Silberman; and New York Times’ research operations chief Michael Zimbalist.
Now, we’ve populated cutting-edge sessions in key areas of the local revolution.
