Yesterday I purchased tickets for myself and some employees to head to Pubcon this coming December in Las Vegas. Last year’s was a great show - I really enjoyed listening to Guy Kawasaki’s keynote speech about innovation.
This year they have a lot of excellent speakers lined up again. Guy will be moderating one of the evening sessions with a panel including Matt Cutts - I’m really looking forward to that. Craig Newmark (CraigsList fame) is going to be one of the keynote speakers this year - that should be good. I grew up in the Bay Area (San Jose), and have been using CraigsList for a long time. I’m looking forward to hearing him talk.
The sessions that are scheduled look like they’re going to be awesome. I’m wishing I could go to everything, but I suppose that’s why we have other employees going - so we can cover most of them.
At any rate, if any of you are planning on attending Pubcon 2007 and would like to meet up, shoot me an email and let me know. I’d love to meet up with other SEOs.

I also do SEO (inhouse for a large firm) and… I’m a woman!
I’d love to meet up sometime at the show - let me know when works best for you.

Sounds great - I’ll shoot you an email so we can plan a time. It will be great getting together with another seo girl!

I’ll be there. I’m not a woman, but I’m a big fan of internet marketing :-).
We should get the Utah crew together for dinner. Shoot me an email if you’re interested.

Alex - That sounds great. I’ll email you, and we can get everyone together. I’m always up for some seo chat with the local seo experts.

Where is everyone staying?
I fly in on Monday at 9PM
I am staying at the Las Vegas Hilton and leave town after the big networking event of Pubcon on Friday I leave around 5pm to make it to my flight.
Then I am taking a hopper plane to SoCal and fly in with my wife and kids to go to Disneyland for 2 days and fly back Sunday Night for me to put all this SEO madness to work again Monday.
I look forward to talking with everyone.
