Formed in 1988, Buffalo's Every Time I Die resurrects real rock 'n' roll. Spearheaded by brothers Keith and Jordan Buckley, the band has made the rounds on the Warped Tour, toured with 'Jackass' favorite Steve-O and have released five albums, the most recent being 'The Big Dirty.' August Burns Red is a technical metalcore group from Lancaster, Pennsylvania. The band formed in March of 2003 and quickly started playing shows around Lancaster. Hailing from the once quiet desert town of Tucson, Arizona, The Bled exploded onto the hardcore/metal circuit in 2001. With their intense live performances along side bands like Dillinger Escape Plan, Norma Jean, Midtown and Recover, they were able to make a name for themselves within their local music scene. Bringing about a mature sound that clearly exceeds their age as a band, The Bled, following the road less traveled by, is now clearing a path for those yet to come.

However, it can often seem a mystery as to how exactly to define, monitor, and rate consumer intent; and then know how to factor that data into your strategies. Join industry pioneer David Smith, CEO of Mediasmith—and some of The Internet Oldtimers Foundation’s elite members—in an engaging, interactive setting to discuss how consumer intent should influence the strategy, execution and optimization strategies of both content publishers and advertisers alike.
