Sebastopol, CA, October 30, 2008 - O'Reilly introduces Found, the search acquisition and architecture conference, scheduled for June 9-11, 2009, at the San Francisco Airport Marriott in Burlingame, CA. Found offers the knowledge required to build search engine optimization (SEO) best practices into development processes. Program co-chairs Vanessa Fox and Nathan Buggia invite proposals for conference sessions, panels, and workshops at Found, to be submitted by December 17, 2008.
Found will be the authoritative place to discover best practices for the nascent search industry and gain a thorough understanding of why search-friendly architecture is mission-critical to businesses of all sizes. Found will change how developers create web applications so that search will connect their sites to their potential customers.
Found will attract web developers and designers, web optimization specialists (SEO firms, in-house SEOs, and marketing agencies that work with developers), marketers, business strategists, product managers, CTOs and CMOs who work with developers and content creators, entrepreneurs, researchers, and technologists interested in search trends.
The chairs will select program content that will provide attendees with actionable data they can use immediately to increase the search-friendliness of their applications while not sacrificing usability.
Proposals are invited in the four tracks of Technical Site Architecture, Process and Diagnosis, Structured Data, and Metrics. The program chairs also seek proposals on these main topics and themes:
