Lisa Buyer Speaks at Pubcon 11 Years in a Row

Social Media Audits, Social Media Strategy and Influencer Marketing are the latest hot topics you can find Lisa Buyer speaking on center stage at Pubcon Pro Las Vegas 2019, the full-stack marketing conference of the year. 

Long revered as one of the best educational and networking opportunities in the digital marketing world, Pubcon Pro promises to outdo even itself this year. 

With keynotes from Google, Bing and Guy Kawasaki, intensive Masters Group workshops, site reviews, and multi-track sessions on everything from social media and SEO to WordPress and Amazon, Pubcon Las Vegas is the place for the latest trends and tactics in digital marketing. It’s an important part of the professional development here at The Buyer Group and just one of the ways we continue to deliver cutting edge public relations using search marketing and social media strategies

My first Pubcon experience started when I attended in 2007 and the rest is history. I’ve been speaking, moderating and teaching workshops for Pubcon each year in Las Vegas, Austin, and Florida. I’m thrilled to be attending for the 12th year and speaking for the 11th in a row, this time for:

• Social Media: What’s Working and How to Audit Your Strategy, with Lisa Buyer and Michelle Dvorak-Held and moderated by the legendary Greg Jarboe. Fun Fact: My very first time speaking engagement I shared a panel with Greg and Lee Odden at SES San Jose in 2008. Here's a little flashback to Search Engine Strategies in 2008 with Sarah Collins, Jarboe and I.

• and Social Media Influencers and Content Endorsement, where I’ll moderate an expert panel consisting of Mark Traphagen, Brent Csutoras, and Lindsey Barber

Of course, I’ll be front and center in as many sessions and keynotes as possible, as some of my absolute, all-time favorite digital marketers are speaking and in attendance—Marty Weintraub, Joe Laratro, Matt Craine, and Gary Illyes among them. I’ve got my money on Pubcon’s epic program and fantastic networking opportunities; here’s why.

Pubcon Doubles Down on Vegas Keynotes with Google, Bing & Guy Kawasaki

I’m also going to make sure I don’t miss the AMA Keynote Panel on Thursday, October 10, on running an SMB agency. I’m stoked to see some of my absolute favorite marketers come together on one stage to share their agency insights: Michelle Robbins, Marty Weintraub, Joe Laratro, Bill Hunt, William Leake, Matt Siltala, Arsen Rabinovich, and Eric Enge come together on Day 4 to wrap it all up.

Is your social media strategy in good health with a dose of public relations?
