This year's ClickZ Live includes exciting and informative sessions on a range of topics, from data-driven marketing and display advertising to social innovation and next-generation search.
Fifty sessions, four days, 10 tracks – this is what you can expect at ClickZ Live in San Francisco from August 11 to 14. And brands – big brands – like the Chicago Tribune, Hewlett Packard, Nissan, and many more.
Add to that networking – and lots of it, including meet and greets, cocktail events, “meet the experts” roundtables, and more, and you have a leading digital marketing event.
Brought to you by the folks who produced the SES conference, ClickZ Live is the revamped version of the event, and expands its topical focus to keep pace with the changing landscape of digital marketing.
