Before ever Pubcon conference and before a lot of the conferences I attend, I hand-pick a list of speakers to see at that conference. This list is completely in random order, not in order of importance. This year at Pubcon Austin 2018, I’ve hand picked 23 speakers of the total number of speakers that are speaking at this year’s Austin event.
Bill’s List of Speakers
As you might recall, I’ve hand-picked speakers before other conferences, including a list of 76 speakers, 57 speakers, and 19 speakers. This year, though, going through the list, I’ve narrowed it down to 23 speakers that I really personally want to see. I’ve seen them speak before, and they always have a lot of great information to share. And, even though I’ve been doing SEO since the 1990s, I still learn something from each and every one of them whenever I see them speak.
Picking a Session at Pubcon Austin 2018
There are several sessions that are going on at the same time, and it does make it difficult to choose which speaker you’re going to see. Which session you go to should depend on the job that you do–whether or not it’s PPC, SEO, content, mobile, or social media. I don’t generally like to point our certain sessions because usually they’re all good. Hey, it’s Pubcon, right?!?
So, without further adieu, here’s my hand-picked list of 23 speakers that you should see at Pubcon Austin 2018. They’re not in any particular order. And, if you are speaking and didn’t make my list, then I probably haven’t seen you speak yet. Feel free to find me at Pubcon Austin and convince me to put you on my list.
