The Digital Marketing Mixer features two types of Labs: 
Hot Seat Labs and One-on-One Labs.

Hot Seat Labs: In these group sessions, three attendees will volunteer to put their marketing programs under the microscope—and in front of the crowd. A panel of experts will review how they stack up and how they can improve. Take notes as others are critiqued. Or add your name to the mix at events@marketingprofs.com. R U Tuff Enuf?

One-on-One Labs: During these private consulting sessions, you'll sit down one-on-one with an expert to review where your marketing efforts are spot on and where there's room for improvement. After only 15-20 minutes, you'll walk away with a list of "to-dos" that will ramp up your digital marketing in a flash. Sign up on site at the registration desk when you pick up your badge. It's first-come, first-serve, so get there early!

Ok, we can't actually promise that, but they said they'd be gentle. You’ll see and hear how you and your colleagues' sites rank in terms of their ability to garner search traffic and ultimately convert visitors to sales. You’ll walk away with valuable lessons learned from what these sites do well and where they need improvement—in the areas of SEO, conversion and usability.
