\"RocksThis is the 6th year for Dallas to host the Rocks Digital Marketing Conference. Attendees are in for quite a treat this year. We are still finalizing all the speakers, but right now we have 15 top-notch digital marketing experts confirmed, with 9 more in process.<\/p>\n

From keynotes to presentations, break-outs, Rocks Talks and workshops, I can confirm that Rocks Digital is shaping up to be one spectacular event!<\/p>\n

This digital marketing conference that began as DFW Rocks Social Media Day in 2012 has transformed into the must-attend annual celebration of Local Search and Social Media. Speakers and attendees will travel from around the U.S. and a few from much farther away. This year we even have a speaker coming from Pakistan!<\/p>\n

Rocks Digital 2017 Will Focus on Local, Social and Mobile<\/h2>\n

As in years prior we’ll be focusing on Local, Social & Mobile. And as you are aware, the reason you must understand and learn about Local Search and SEO is to drive search traffic to business websites.<\/p>\n

Getting visitors to a website involves leveraging methods such as social media, paid search & paid social, content creation & content marketing, and video. You need to fully understand all of these methods and how they intertwine with mobile. Why? Because we know that this is how consumers are getting their information these days!<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. 54% of digital media time is spent in mobile apps<\/li>\n
  2. 62% of digital media time is spent on mobile devices<\/li>\n
  3. a remarkable 88 out of 100 searches on mobile are \u201cnear me\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    At the 2017 Rocks Digital Marketing Conference, it is our mission to dive deep into these topics and provide attendees with this knowledge. And we’ll do just that starting on Thursday, June 29.<\/p>\n

    You’ll learn from the heavy hitters, those on the grind every day. Some names you’ll know right off the bat, some you won’t, but rest assured \u2013\u00a0they are the best of the best, the Who’s Who of the digital marketing industry.<\/p>\n

    What’s Different at Rocks Digital 2017<\/strong><\/h2>\n

    Each year I start the planning by reviewing the previous year: what the attendees liked, what they didn’t, and examining how to improve those experiences.<\/p>\n

    That process has produced a few changes to this year\u2019s format:<\/span><\/p>\n
