A tribute to Hamlet Batista
Hamlet Batista was a great man who contributed a lot to the SEO community at large and was one of the most sought after international SEO experts and speakers.
He was supposed to speak at this event and literally 2h before starting we got word that he had passed away due to complications with the Coronavirus. Needless to say we were shocked and devastated.
That is why we decided to dedicate this event in his memory.
Rest in peace, dear Hamlet.
