SEMPO Videos: SEMPO Networking Event at SMX London 2007

I haven’t been much present on the blog after the opening post because of a lot of traveling over the last two weeks, and my meandering across Europe brought me also at the inaugural SMX London event, where I have been invited to speak.

SMX London 2007 has been a very successful show, the first event in London from the new worldwide conference series headed by Danny Sullivan and Chris Sherman, under the Search Marketing Expo / Search Engine Land / SMX new hot search brands.

Just two weeks after SMX Stockholm (Oct 31-Nov 1), last November 15 SMX London gathered at the Hilton Metropol Hotel the cream of the UK and European search marketing industry.

SEMPO Europe supported SEMPO UK , Media Partner of the London show, in conducting interviews to speakers, exhibitors and organizers at SMX London, that we’ll broadcast here from our global search blog.

The first video from SMX London is not actually an interview, but the recording of the brief welcome at the opening of the SEMPO networking event at the end of day one of the two-day conference. Here Richard Gregory and Paul Doleman , both Co-Chairs of SEMPO UK (Paul also Co-Chairs with me the European Working Group of SEMPO) give a quick overview on the latest initiatives from SEMPO.

After introducing SEMPO UK, who reached 33 members, and also announcing the launch of our blog (thanks!), Richard introduced the just launched 4th annual SEMPO state of the search market survey, and the soon-to-be-launched European survey, that we will announce soon.

Paul Doleman introduced and talked very passionately about the SEMPO Institute, the recently released SEMPO distance learning platform and programs for search marketing training, before officially declaring the bar open, as well as the networking action among the SMX London crowd.

Watch the video for full details and to get the mood of the event, and stand by for next posts with the SMX London interview series – but if just can’t wait, just visit SEMPO’s new video space on YouTube, and join the frenzy community growing up around SEMPO on Facebook!
