According to various estimates, Online Marketing including Search Engine Marketing industry is poised to grow at a phenomenal rate in the near future. However, the rate of growth is dependent on the rate at which skilled manpower is produced. At present, lack of talented resources is the major challenge faced by various players in the industry.

To address the above challenge, I started building OM Careers, an online marketing careers community, probably the first of its kind in the world. Gradually, many industry experts extended their support and became part of it. Recently, we decided to turn this community into a non-profit organization.

Inside of this non-profit initiative, we are doing OMCAR 2008, world’s first online marketing careers conference. The event will held in New Delhi, India on Jan 12, 2008. This event is aimed to empower current online marketing professionals in their careers and to attract aspiring professionals into this fast growing and lucrative industry.

This edition of OMCAR will focus on the following topics:
• Introduction to Online Marketing
