Google Announces Free Webmaster Conferences via @martinibuster
Google announced that they will be hosting free conferences worldwide. The goal is to bring search related information direct to people in their own country and in their own language. Each event will be completely free.
Google promised to reveal the details of more Webmaster Conferences coming to communities around the world.
What Are the Webmaster Conferences?
The Webmaster Conferences are intended to match the needs of the webmasters located in the communities in which they are held.
According to Google:
“These events are primarily located where it’s difficult to access search conferences or information about Google Search, or where there’s a specific need for a Search event. For example, if we identify that a region has problems with hacked sites, we may organize an event focusing on that specific topic.”
Webmaster Conferences Coming to Europe and North America
Google noted that events are coming to Europe and North America. No dates or locations are to be announced.
According to Google’s announcement:
“We will also host web communities in Europe and North America later this year, so keep an eye out for the announcements!”
