From new tech, to best practices, to new service offering to even a little peek at the future - there's a lot that goes on at one of the industry's leading sales and marketing conferences.

Facebook - several breakout sessions focused on the social media titan. We picked up some new techniques to increase organic reach of posts, learned more about the increasing importance of video and learned some tips that will 'boost' ad performance.
Conversion Rate Optimization - Are you landing pages not converting like they should? You could be inadvertently creating roadblocks for your customers. Something as simple as a 1 second delay in page load can have a huge impact on whether a potential customer stays or leaves. This breakout session focused on a systematic approach to analyzing underperforming landing pages and building an actionable plan to increase results.
Future of SEO - Are you familiar with accelerated mobile pages? The future of SEO is mobile, so much so that its possible in the near future Google will only index sites that are mobile friendly.
Beyond the breakout sessions, we met with representatives from companies that are providing exciting new ways to target potential customers through data, content and even personalized video.
We look forward to sharing everything that we learned with our clients.
