BIA/Kelsey’s ILM:10 is just around the corner. This is a three day conference devoted to all things local search. Titled as a “mega-conference,” ILM:10 is expected to hit a record-breaking 600 attendees and plans to step it up with two “super forums” – one based on mobile local media, and the other based on deal-a-day offers and pure pay-for-performance.
The A-list roster includes industry leaders from CBS Local Digital Media, Comcast, eBay, Facebook, Google, Microsoft, Pandora, Redbeacon, Yahoo, Yelp and Zillow…just to name a few.
Finally, our very own Gregg Stewart, President of 15miles, will be in attendance to spread the word about local searchonomics and to get the latest on what’s happening in our industry.
Want to get the scoop on local searchonomics? Meet up with Gregg at ILM:10 or take a look at our latest creation to find out why local is important to everyone – consumers and businesses alike.
