The SMX Marketplace Difference
Facilitating engagement with our audience and ensuring your success is our top priority at SMX. We
offer these beyond-the-booth programs and opportunities:


Plus Sessions are integrated programs that combine extensive audience development
activities (online, e-mail, PR) with a vendor-produced session embedded in the conference
program. These features enable your company to build awareness that prepares the SMX
audience to receive your message, delivers that message to attendees at the conference, and
measures the results by capturing the names of attendees for follow up.
Matchmaking@SMX puts the demand-generation power of the conference to work for you
from the day you commit to SMX until the conference ends. Based upon purchase intent
information we collect during the registration process, we connect you with registrants who
have confirmed that they are interested in an introduction to your company. From there it’s
up to you how to follow up with the lead – set up a pre-conference call, schedule an on-site
meeting at SMX – maybe even an in-person sales call before the conference. The program is
double-opt in, measurable, and free to all SMX exhibitors/sponsors.
Solution Spotlights allow you to reach your target audience by introducing a conference
session on a topic matching your product or service. Deliver a 2-minute pre-session elevator
pitch and invite attendees back to your booth for follow up.
Universal Lead Capture. Lead generation is a critical component of the value of exhibiting at
SMX events. All exhibiting companies with get a lead retrieval device – free – as part of their
sponsorship/expo package.
SMX Cash Back, an exclusive loyalty program that rewards your company for selling
conference tickets. You earn 15% of the value of all tickets sold toward exhibiting at a future
SMX conference. The more tickets you sell, the more Cash Back you earn! Cash Back credits
are good for exhibit/sponsor items only and must be redeemed within 18 months from
when they are earned. Company employee registrations do not earn Cash Back credit.
SMX Social Media Outreach. Get your brand and your message in front of 92,870 followers
and fans of Search
Marketing Expo before,

conference. The SMX
Social Media Outreach
program distributes
multiple messages on

the SMX audience on-site
and virtually.
