Every year more and more conferences join the scene for social media, online advertising, online marketing, blogging, internet retail, web analytics, social networks, conversion, PPC, Search Engine Optimization, SEO, SMM, SEM, and any other buzz word that relates to business online.
Yes this is yet another post about the upcoming Pubcon Conference. I usually, well usually is a strong word, I randomly do posts about conferences that I attend. So many people write so many great posts I figure join in with the “me toooooo” post (although I think this counts as one). Look, even Pubcon thought my post was a great idea with one of their own (and theirs is…
Im covering 5-7 sessions for Barry over @ Search Engine Roundtable and there are some other great people doing even more. So as a warm-up for those, I thought I would cover a session this morning. I think I got some of the rust off, but we will find out later. For full SES San Jose coverage see Search Engine Roundtable. Chris W – 10e20 What is viral marketing? -…
This session started out with Gary Katz of Marketing Operations Partners running through A LOT of content somewhat quickly. I didnt write down much of what he said, but I did get his “Top 10″ style list You know your marketing resources are at risk….. Your metrics for success are ill-defined People are slammed Institutional memory is leaking Creativity is suffering from constipation Team & supplier relationships are dysfunctional Decision…
I am at eMetrics all week and will post some of my quick session notes as the week goes on. If you want to follow what everyone is seeing, I advise you check out twemes.com. The first session was: Deep Data Diving – Bringing Online and Offline Inline w/ Rufus Evison. 13 million pieces of mail every quarter using 9 million variables Data (is meaningless on its own) -> Information…
So I was reading on Twitter some and a tweet from Yahoo Live came through – it was for the WMC. No way? The conference I want to go to every year but always fail to plan for? Yes, that conference. Who wouldnt want to go? Miami in March? Have you looked outside? Chicago just got more snow tonight. *shakes head in shame* So what is Yahoo Live have to…
There seems to be more and more conferences each year. There is the usual Ad-Tech, SES, and SMX. Then there are smaller one offs such as ETail, Internet Retailer, and other events such as Woodstock 2.0 Expo. For a list of other off the beaten path conferences, take a look at a post from last year by Sugarrae. Last year I was able to make it to the usual conferences…
Over the past few years I have averaged 3 to 6 conferences a year such as Pubcon, SES, and SMX. Chicago is also home to an SES, Ad-tech, Etail, and other smaller conferences and makes afternoon trips to see friends and check out vendors a snap. All of these conferences have one thing in common:exhibit halls where people are trying to recruit you to buy, sell, or partner with them…
So Pubcon 2007 has come and gone – and Im happy and sad. I spent a long time in Las Vegas and by the end of the week I was more then ready to go. I spent the following weekend catching up on email, sleep, laundry, sleep, and just being anti-social. Pubcon is great in that everyone that goes knows (well just about everyone) their head from their ass. The…
The weekend is upon us and a busy one for me it will be. The following is my schedule (well some of it) so follow along at home and maybe I will run into you. As the holidays approach it seems there is less and less time to just sit back and relax. Hell, here it is late on a Friday and I am writing this – and many of…
