SMX Israel

This past Sunday, January 15, 2012, I chaired SMX Israel in Jerusalem at the Inbal Hotel.

I have to say, the conference just felt good. People were networking, sponsors were showing off their wares, speakers were educating and the attendees were absorbing information and asking questions.

We never had so many people, so many speakers and honestly, I was nervous it would take away from the personality of the previous events. But if anything, it made the conference so much better. Planning it was an exhausting few months, but it paid off!

Let me share with you some of the news/blog coverage I found across the web from the event:

There is even forum coverage of it in Hebrew at SEOForums.co.il.

Here is an outstanding video of how things looked from the event by Natan Epstien who produced the film an Israel Tech Company.

You can catch a lot of the buzz, pictures, slides and so on from #smxisrael on Twitter. Plus, the Real Streets of Jerusalem posted a ton of pictures on Facebook in three parts. They include SMX Israel Part I, SMX Israel Part II and SMX Israel Part III.

Hillel Fuld shared a picture of the Google shwag at the event, Yaniv posted a picture of his badge and Nekuda posted one of my favorite pictures.

Of course a huge thanks to our sponsors: Majestic SEO, Analytics Ninja, Universal McCann Search, Mad Mimi, Go Internet Marketing, Rapid Fire, Responder.co.il, SEO Genie, Sorezki, SEFO, iSEO and Viruous Online.
