The theme of the conference is“Transforming Classifieds". The sessions will focus on the increasing convergence between traditional classifieds, directories and the new local search tools such as mapping, mobile, geo-location services, plus a short foray off into the rapidly-growing sector of video advertising. With specialist workshops on Google Analytics which will teach you more than you ever thought possible about how your website is performing), SEO/SEM and monetising the search function, you'll leave Miami relaxed and with more valuable ideas and contacts than you ever thought possible, and a deeper insight into the trends which will continue to shape our industry in the coming months and years.
