Bend WebCAM Conference Sept 29-30, Experts in Creative, SEO and Social Media to Deliver Education, Critique, and Wisdom for 21st Century Marketing
Bend WebCAM, a cutting-edge web, creative and marketing conference will be held in Bend September 30 – October 1 at the Oxford Hotel and Tower Theatre. Attracting some of the most influential thought-leaders from across the country, this conference is designed to educate and inspire attendees with the latest trends in the new marketing world, including: web marketing, search marketing, social media and SEO, along with the latest in creative and marketing, such as brand management, design and copywriting. Bend WebCAM also provides an abundance of social and networking opportunities, including Dine-Around Town luncheons, and an evening “Brew Ha-Ha” party.
“Bend WebCAM is a hybrid conference that offers something for everyone involved in the technical or creative aspects of marketing,” said Cam Davis, owner of Wordplay and a co-chair of the conference hosted by the Advertising Federation of Central Oregon (www.adfedco.org) and Pixelsilk (www.pixelsilk.com).
“The conference is an amazing opportunity for anyone wishing to blend technology and creativity into a successful 21st century business plan,” he explained. “It offers three tracks: the Left Brain Track, which dives deep into the technical side of marketing, including SEO, social media and mobile marketing; the Right Brain Track, which focuses on the creative, emotional and imaginative methods of communicating; and the Hybrid Track that successfully merges the two.
This year’s conference is organized a bit differently than in the past. Thursday will feature five in-depth workshops with industry experts in local search marketing, SEO, creative branding, and social media. Participants can attend workshops individually for $129 each or buy an all-workshop pass for $249.
Friday will feature a full roster of keynotes and workshops offered by industry notables, such as Rand Fishkin, CEO of SEOmoz.org, Tim Ash, CEO of SiteTuners.com; and Andy Smith, author of The Dragonfly Effect. Friday only passes are $249, or participants can get a discounted full-conference pass for $479. Thursday and two-day passes also include admission to the Brew Ha-Ha social on Thursday evening.
“Bend WebCAM is growing in stature each year,” said Lynnette Braillard, marketing director for Visit Bend and co-chair of the event. “We are gaining the reputation as a must-do conference because of the level of expertise we offer in state-of-the-art and cutting edge discussions, but also because of Bend as the destination.”
“Attendees get some great professional development and creative stimulation over the two-day conference, and then they get to enjoy Bend over the weekend,” Braillard said.
