SMX London – Beers and Secret Handshakes
I’m delighted to announce the LondonSEO networking party for SMX London 2008. The event will take place on Tuesday 4th November, the first day of the conference. Search Marketing Expo attendees and internet marketing enthusiasts are welcome to join us for a night of beer, banter, bitching and card swapping (couldn’t think of another ‘b’).
There’s even better news – our saviour of free beer comes in the form of CAP Euro, a sponsor that runs conferences dedicated to new and existing affiliates of online gaming.
CAP Euro is the biggest event out there for the iGaming affiliate industry and unlike other events it mixes business and pleasure perfectly with unique offerings such as an open bar in the expo room along side a poker tournament that pays out prizes up to $20,000, through to acquiring the best speakers in the sector and running the most lavish networking events ever seen. And if that isn’t enough we do not charge affiliates or webmasters anything to attend any part of our event from the poker to the conference so the only investment you have to make is your time.
Even if you work in-house or at an agency, there’s nothing better than earning some extra income by using your SEO and PPC skills – and there’s no bigger payout than online gaming. So if you want to know how affiliates are making 6 figures a month through their poker sites, why not attend this free and fun conference?
Our glorious venue for the night will be the Freemasons Arms, a Shepherd Neame pub just minutes from the conference centre. Don’t worry, you don’t need to know the special masonic handshake to get in!
As well as the usual Guinness and Lager on tap, some may enjoy experimenting with fantastic British Real Ale, such as Bishops Finger and Spitfire (my personal favourite). We’ve booked the entire pub, so plenty of space to mingle or be anti-social in a corner.
Here are all the details you’ll need in order to attend:

I’m so there.
I shall be there, though maybe on cokes as it’s not long before wifes due date!
Make sure you don’t let that slacker Norris turn up mind!
Will be there with chocolate to share as always!
I am determined to show up this time!
Excellent, I should be making it along this year.
Oh, forgot to mention that the Freemasons Arms is where the English Football Association was founded – home of the FA
Is there any space for newbies?
Cool beans. Only two weeks to go! I think this will be well attended.
There’s a networking party at SMX London until 7pm, although I’ve set the start time of LondonSEO as 6:30pm so that our non-SMX regulars can get the bar warmed up beforehand.
not sure whether I’m def going to be at SMX if not will def keep the bar warm for you…
kelvin
Maaaaaybe. Gotta spend all my free evenings sorting out the case studies for my course before disappearing off to Pubcon!
I am defo going to be at this one, just bought my train ticket and booking the hotel. And I am ready to party.
Spitfire eh? I remember when it was £1.30 a pint in Wetherspoons. Happy days. See you there…
I’ll be there but only because I’m hoping to see Ciaran in more pastel attire.
Count me in
Will be there.
Wow, that’s 3 minutes walking from Nestoria offices

I cannot NOT be there!
I am so coming there to see what REAL search marketers get up to… I heard its all a piss up…
I would love to be there but, as Rob knows, I have to be up at crack of sparrow’s the next day so probably won’t be.
Julie – I’ll send you some photos of my favourite pastels if you like…
That’s a pathetic excuse, I’m either drunk or hungover at most of my presentations. If you leave at 10pm, drink 4 pints of water, then take a Berocca, you’ll feel better than ever at your session.
Yeah, maybe. But it’s an internal presentation to some pretty senior bods, so I’d rather not risk that. Thanks for the amazing advice though..
Awwwwww Ciaran – we’re going to miss you! I’ll just have to hassle you at the networking or the event itself or something
Good to see we’ll have more new people coming! It’s always open to new people! We’re a friendly bunch and this time I’ll have MOO.com business cards – woohoo!
is this the geekyest thing in the world?
Yep i’ll be there, and i’ll prob get a networking ticket to SMX to see what thats all about as well…
I can’t make SMX but will be there for the aftermath.
Who’s heading to Vegas this year – Rob, Ciaran, Jane, Judith, Kelvin, anyone!?
Be good to have some of the London crowd for company over there.
I’m not at PubCon this year as not speaking there so work isn’t sending me
If only…..
Looks like I will actually be attending this time…… Hotel booked
Ekky – you owe me beer
I will definitely join you guys there
Looking forward to seeing you all there!
I’ll join you guys there, looking forward to it!
Rob, does ‘No food provided’ mean no food available?
Other than the obvious nutritional substitutes like Guinness, Twiglets and deCabbit Chocolate supplies.
;0)
@Teacake If you get there early, the Chef may still be around. I doubt he’ll stick around for the whole night though.
@Ciaran LOL “crack of sparrow’s” reminds me of this for some odd reason.
Alas I cannot attend, not this time. Even tho I have lots more mingling to do
PS: Grrr they sure mislaid that bleedin’ chunnel.
Not going out to vegas and can’t make SMX proper so having to get my dose of SEO Geekiness from this little drinking session Tony
Cool – catch you guys there
I have a *BUCKET* of Celebrations chocolate that I’m bringing with me to share so much chocolate will be had by ALL!
Stuck in Florida. =(
Looks like it should be a good crowd though, expect a few crazy pictures to pop up?
