The Seattle Direct Marketing Association's annual conference, Market to the Max 2009, was a huge success. Again.
With 250 attendees and 15 corporate sponsors, the event proved to be a very useful networking tool for direct marketers in Seattle, as well as an important learning opportunity.
This year's session line-up was very heavy with Internet marketing content, including sessions on "The future of search engine optimization", "Winning in the blogosphere", and "Making the financial case for email marketing." Speakers represented nationallly known direct marketing experts such as Google, eMarketer and Microsoft, as well as many local internet marketing heros, including DNA Brand Mechanics, Ascentium, Wongdoody, Point It, and many more.
In fact, the tech-heavy schedule had some attendees asking, "where's the direct mail?" Doesn't anyone print anything anymore?
To this point, the SDMA is conversing about the schedule of upcoming direct marketing events. We regularly solicit feedback from members and event attendees in order to craft a compelling schedule of direct marketing events that Seattle marketing pros are thinking about, and want to invest their time in learning more about. Lately it seems that that Internet marketing and email marketing top the charts of many people's needs.

Thanks to everyone who attended Market to the Max this year, and to all of our sponsors for making the event possible. Also, a big congratulations to the Seattle Sounders FC for a succesful opening season. We all enjoyed hearing from Adrian Hanauer, owner of the team, at the MttM lunchtime presentation.
