Search and Social Hawaii! September 17-20, 2012
Are you tired of the same old conference food, parties, and speakers that don’t acknowledge you or the agenda topics? Then, Search and Social™ Hawaii is the event for you.
The Search and Social™ Hawaii! Conference provides the innovative strategies and how-to techniques for thriving in this ever-changing environment. Our agenda includes discussions and debates around the hottest topics. Wappow! has invited speakers who think outside the box-and so will you!
Search and Social™ Hawaii! ads uniqueness to its lineup by bringing you professors and educators from universities around the world. This Wappow! conference is an experience that you won’t want to miss.
“At broad-and-shallow conferences there are endless mediocre talks that dilute your network time. Wappow’s approach is completely opposite. They seem to bend time and give you more collaboration time, and even time for reflection and working on your own content, by reducing the total number of talks but elevating them to international excellence. They do this by choosing speakers who are out in front of the trends, or who work at fascinating intersections like SEO and social. The net result is that all year, I’ve leveraged what I learned there but also continued meetups with folks with whom I made far more than a passing acquaintance. The result has been marketing, revenue, and branding opportunities I never would have had otherwise.” David Evans Ph.D.
