Just want to post a reminder for everyone to plan on joining us for a very special SMC Louisville on Tuesday night, Feb. 16 at the Water Tower. Lee Odden, CEO of TopRank Online Marketing and world-renown search engine optimization (SEO) and social media expert, will be the featured presenter at our February gathering. Odden will provide practical advice with his presentation, “10 SEO Tips Communications Professionals Must Know.” The event will take place from 6:30 p.m. until 8:30 p.m. ET on Tuesday at the Louisville Visual Art Association at The Water Tower. The event is free and open to the public. Hors d’oeuvres and a cash bar will be offered.

We’re almost bursting at the seams for this event in terms of RSVPs, but I’d like to ask everyone to continue to spread the word. The reason we wanted to bring Lee to Louisville was because we wanted a world-class expert to be able to explain the importance of SEO to public relations, marketing and communications professionals. Search happens 85% of the time a person opens a browser. It is the single-most important online activity. Understanding it as a marketer, developer or business owner is imperative. Lee will help us all get there.

We’re going to have a blast learning and networking with Lee and one another. See you there!
