&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Cost to Attend:&lt;/strong&gt; Free thanks to our sponsor Google.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Agenda:&lt;/strong&gt; Google has been busy introducing changes to the index, the algorithm, and the user experience of their search engine over the past few months.  These changes introduce new opportunities and challenges to search professionals, marketers, and business owners.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Round Table Format: This SEMPO Boston event will introduce a new format.  Smaller groups will discuss one aspect of the recent Search Changes by Google and then one representative of each smaller group will share the discussion notes with all participants.  This will give everyone a chance to drill deep into one aspect and learn the breadth of Google Search changes.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Please answer the three short questions at the end of your event registration to ensure we discuss the topics on most people’s minds as well as create appropriate smaller discussion groups.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;REGISTER TODAY!&lt;/strong&gt; Registration is limited to the first 125 people and will close on October 8th.   We expect to sell out quickly as our previous events at Google have.   Don’t delay or you may get shutout of what is expected to be a highly interactive, informative, and enjoyable experience.&lt;/p&gt;

	          <description>&lt;p&gt;The Yahoo! and Microsoft Search integration is complete in North America!  As a result, the marketplace for paid search advertising will change in a significant way.

&lt;p&gt;·  Data related to “query share’ and # of visitors they will reach&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;·  Short-term challenges and long-term opportunities for advertisers&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;·  What goes on behind the scenes when such a massive transition between two web leaders occurs&lt;/p&gt;
