Here's a blast from the past, when we announced the first Virtual Unconference last year: https://t.co/4zAR6cDSFs pic.twitter.com/9ayuOPUPpz
In 2020, because of COVID and lockdowns, Google hosted a bunch of lightening talks, a quickly sold out virtual unconference, they published the videos to the 2019 in person Google webmaster conference, and promised a larger virtual conference for next month. This is in additional to all the YouTube channel stuff they produced, the hangouts, the online help and much more.
I am looking forward to what Google has lined up.
Of course, SMX - the conference I am part of - has six virtual shows lined up this year. So check them out - we are taking a bit of a different approach that we think is super unique.
