Search Engine Marketing Professionals of Portland (SEMpdx) was created to provide a resource for both local SEM professionals and area businesses. We're known for our monthly educational events about digital marketing topics, and our annual ENGAGE conference (previously called SearchFest). SEMpdx's goals are to educate Portland on the benefits of search engine marketing and to help Portland become a hub for the SEM industry. SEMpdx is a non-profit that is powered by volunteers.
