2013 SEO Conventions and Conferences in Seattle
SEO is almost as “Seattle” as coffee shops, grunge music, and rainy winter days. As the proud home of SEOmoz, Distilled, Portent, and Cobalt, Seattle is widely considered to be among the top cities for SEOs in the world. It’s no surprise then that there are so many Web Marketing conferences and conventions held here each year.
To make sure you don’t miss out on any cutting edge techniques, amazing free tools, and incredible networking opportunities, Seattle SEO Network has put together a list of the events coming up this year. We’d love to make this is as valuable as possible, so if you happen to know of something that we don’t, feel free to let us know in the comments below and we’ll update the listing as we go.
SkillPath Social Media Marketing Conference
Location: Crown Plaza Hotel
Dates: June 10, 2013
Why go? If either you can’t afford any of the other events and happen to be very interested in exclusively social media or you’re interested in tackling a full day of intensive social media training as a warm up for the much larger SMX Advanced that starts the next day.

SMX Advanced Seattle
Dates: June 11-12, 2013
Location: Bell Harbor International Conference Center
Why go? Q&A with Google’s Anti-spam Czar Matt Cutts and dozens of learning sessions sponsored and produced directly by Google. Hear it from the horse’s (donkey’s?) mouth at SMX Advanced.

Mozcon 2013
Dates: July 8-10, 2013
Location: Washington State Convention Center
Why go? Arguably the best value for great content, tools, and networking of any SEO event this year. Off the record, many of top SEOs name Mozon as their favorite SEO conference of the year.

2013 Seattle Interactive Conference (SIC)
Dates: October 28-30 2013
Location: Washington State Convention Center
Why go? Today’s SEO ideally should influence social media, user experience, and blogging strategies at the very least. This conference takes a broader look at the types of skills good SEOs should learn or at least partner with others to achieve. It’s also less than half as much as either SMX Advanced or Mozcon.
