Are search and recommendation chalk and cheese or will they seamlessly blend? Are search and recommendation two ends of a spectrum with all information discovery tools somewhere in between? Our 2nd September event explores the issues for publishers\, brands and business. How can brands capitalise on recommendation sites? Is there a significant difference between trusted communities and the wisdom of crowds? Can the lure of affiliate revenue affect non-user-generated recommendations\, or the hierarchy of results?

What if instead of talking at you\, the conference speakers worked with you to come up with a plan for your business? That's exactly what happens for small businesses who gather together with some of the best and brightest minds in online marketing at the Small Business Marketing Unleashed conferences. Our first show this past spring in Houston was a smash hit\, so we've decided to bring the show to the Midwest for a fall conference as well. SBMU brings you some of the brightest minds in SEO\, SEM\, Copywriting\, Social Media\, Blogging and Viral Marketing\, all under one roof. Instead of hearing a panel of speakers share four different viewpoints\, (leaving you to figure out which one is right) SBMU gives the stage to one expert who knows how to explain the nuts and bolts of their topic to the small business audience. You'll get the information that's vital to improving your online marketing techniques and you'll get it without the techno-talk and industry jargon so common to larger online marketing conferences. Attendance is capped at 100\, creating a 'classroom' type setting encourages speakers and attendees to interact and a vibrant learning environment is the result. Attendees aren't lectured to\, they are given the chance to interact with fellow attendees as well as industry experts. As a result\, instead of going home confused\, attendees return with the foundation for a plan of action that they can put in place immediately to grow their business.
