Record Number of Participants Expected at SES Toronto Echoes Record Growth in Canadian E-Commerce Market

Toronto, ON - May 22, 2008 —1,500 professionals are expected to unite at the 5th annual Search Engine Strategies (SES) Toronto Conference & Expo for the most comprehensive SEM/SEO learning opportunity in Canada, taking place June 16-18, 2008 at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre.

In 2007, attendees spanning more than 25 industries experienced the depth of expertise that panelists and exhibitors offered. 59% of these former SES Toronto attendees expanded their knowledge in search engine marketing from industries outside of traditional advertising and marketing, including banking and finance, technology, education and training, government, healthcare, manufacturing, retail, travel, and utilities, among others.

Additionally, while the vast majority of delegates control purchasing decisions, over 50% of them considered themselves of novice experience in SEM/SEO tactics, making SES Toronto a prime learning opportunity for those who seek basic instruction, in addition to advanced best practices for success. The expo hall floor, featuring 21 new and veteran exhibitors, allows for the opportunity to network with Canada's most comprehensive gathering of search engine marketing and optimization-related solutions providers and potential partners and affiliates.

This year's SES Toronto exhibitors include:

"We can't be more satisfied with the fervor from the search engine marketing community around our SES Toronto conference," said Matt McGowan, VP of Marketing, Search Engine Strategies and SearchEngineWatch.com, properties of Incisive Media. "Particularly, we're grateful for the continued support of our headline sponsors - Yellow Pages Group, Yahoo! Search Marketing, iProspect, and Page Zero Media."

Those attendees who wish to get a jump start on their hands-on training can register for the SES Search Engine Marketing (SEM) Training, taking place June 4th in Chicago, Ill.

Registration for SES Toronto before Friday, May 30, guarantees a savings of C$150 on a Platinum Passport. For more information on registering for SES Toronto and to see the conference at a glance, visit www.searchenginestrategies.com/toronto/.
