We're just a few days away from the start of the UBL User Conference. The response from local search industry leaders has been terrific -- in fact, we had to move the proceedings to a larger venue to accommodate the overflow.
We're anticipating a valuable exchange of news and ideas among UBL management and staff, major partners, publishers, and local search experts. The agenda includes focused discussion of UBL's product suite as well as new developments, sales tactics, best practices, and industry direction.
Our healthy projected attendance tells us what we already knew: business listings, reputation management, and social branding are on everyone's radar for 2011. Businesses large and small are demanding these services in ever increasing numbers. From the perspective of the financial markets, local is outpacing many other industries with impressive growth in the online sector, as noted in BIA/Kelsey's Local Market Index.
For all of these reasons, we knew the time was right to bring the industry's best and brightest together. Here's to a great conference!
