The 2015 Local Search Association Conference was the most well attended event we have had in 5 years and offered a broad mix of speakers and sessions. Building on the strength of the 2015 event in LA, we’re going both deeper and broader for LSA16 in San Francisco March 7-9 at the Westin St. Francis.
There will be more tactical information as well as new speakers that take the event beyond its normal range of sessions and topics. One of those new speakers is Thumbtack CEO Marco Zappacosta who will discuss why Thumbtack, without a known brand, has experienced such phenomenal success and is now worth almost $1.3 billion.
Another notable speaker confirmed for the LSA16 event is Google’s Chandu Thota, director of engineering. Thota, who is in charge of location at Google, has an impressive resume with over 40 patents in web and mapping and social technology areas. He is also a published author (3 books) and a well-known speaker in developer communities.
In addition to great speakers/sessions, LSA is a great place to network and meet new people in the space. For a better sense of the LSA conference experience, check out the video below which features feedback from LSA15 attendees:
