WordStreams Larry Kim to Speak on Search in the Social Era at Search Industry Summit 2012


Boston, MA (PRWEB) December 03, 2012

WordStream Inc., a provider of search marketing software and PPC management solutions, will be partnering with other search industry experts to give a presentation on Driving Social Further down the Conversion Funnel at the Search Insider Summit on Saturday December 15, 2012, at 10:15 am.

This presentation is one of several that will be hosted during the four-day Search Industry Summit conference hosted at the Stein Eriksen Lodge in Park City, UT.

The Driving Social Further Down the Conversion Tunnel talk will be presented by WordStream Founder and Chief Technology Officer Larry Kim, along with panelists including Chris Baggott, Chariman at Compendium; Dhiren DSouza, President and Co-Founder of SearchForce; and Chris Zaharias, Chief Revenue Officer at Triggit.

Together the panelists will examine where social media sites such as Facebook, Google+, Pinterest, and Foursquare belong in the conversion funnel. Despite reports of some businesses reaching major success on Facebook and generating impressive ROI, many marketers remain confused when it comes to incorporating Facebook and other social media networks into their overall search strategy.

Panelists will discuss how businesses can best use Facebook to build their brand and how to take advantage of the predominately untapped revenue streams social media sites can offer.

To take advantage of this learning opportunity, sign up for the Search Industry Summit 2012 Conference today.

Mobius Institute to Speak at the Reliable Plant 2012 Conference and Exhibition in Indianapolis


Nashville, Tennessee (PRWEB) April 19, 2012

Mobius Institute, the premier provider of vibration analysis and machine reliability training courses and products will present a break out session entitled How to Extend the Life of Rolling Element Bearings during the May 1-3, 2012 Reliable Plant Conference & Exhibition at the Indiana Convention Center in Indianapolis.

Reliable Plant draws more than 1,000 attendees annually and features cutting edge presentations by many of the worlds leading professionals and consultants in the areas of machinery lubrication, oil analysis and reliability. The conference will feature five tracks overall three focused on lubrication and two focused on reliability with learning sessions covering tactics and solutions for substantial advances in plant performance, profitability and sustainability.

From this presentation, you will learn the main reasons why bearings fail and exactly how vibration analysts can contribute to eliminating those root causes. Many condition monitoring professionals focus on detecting bearing faults, but too few consider how they can increase the life of the bearing through reliability improvements. Vibration analysts have the tools to learn why bearings fail and to make changes so that bearings run for many years before failure occurs. Reliability engineers, vibration analysts and anyone who has an interest in reliability and condition monitoring should attend. Detailed knowledge of vibration analysis is not required.

We’ve tailored our presentation to address the most current technology, awareness and practices required to meet the goal of extending machine uptime through proper application of vibration analysis, proper lubrication, and failure inspections said Jason Tranter, Managing Director, Mobius Institute. The Reliable Plant conference provides us the perfect venue to demonstrate the importance of learning and applying the best possible practices to maximize machine availability.
