Search Engine Strategies 2003 Chicago Archives

The Search Engine Strategies Conference Chicago 2003 Reviewed article is now live on my search engine articles page. It will also be sent to the Developer Shed network from SEO Chat.

Here is the introduction:

Search Engine Strategies Conference and Expo is an event that brings together most talented and famous Search Engine Marketing professionals in the world. This event is held several times a year all over the world, and is hosted by JupiterMedia and SearchEngineWatch.com. Danny Sullivan is the name behind the show, but people come to this event for many reasons including to learn about search engine optimization and marketing, to hear about advancements in the search engine industry, to meet prospects and attract new business, and simply to meet people in the industry face to face and have a good time.

I was privileged to be able to attend the full three-day conference in Chicago that took place from December 9, 2003 through December 11, 2003. I have compiled a detailed review of each day of the Search Engine Strategies (SES) conference at The Search Engine Roundtable Weblog; but I promised SEO Chat forum members to write an abbreviated and well-organized review of the conference. Overall, I recommend the conference to all those in the Web design, Internet marketing, advertising field, search engine optimization and search engine marketing field.

In the upcoming paragraphs I will cover the following:

- Overview of the Search Engine Strategies Conference
- Topics at the Search Engine Strategies Conference: What you can expect to learn?
- Advances in the Search Engine Industry and the RustyBrick Perspective
- Networking Opportunities and Exhibitors at Chicago
- The Search Engine Elite and Sometimes Wacky
- Search Engine Strategies Chicago Conference Wrap-Up

Search Engine Strategies (SES) December conference is hosted by Danny Sullivan from SearchEngineWatch.com. I will be providing my view of the speakers and courses I attend and report them at the end of the day. I missed the last session because I had to catch my flight back to New York. Its amazing how the place emptied out the last day. I bet that 75% of the people from day one was already gone by session two of the last day.

For day three please read on.

If you do not know about SEMPO, The Search Engine Marketing Professional Organization is all about education and awareness to influence increased budgets towards the SEM industry. “SEMPO is a non-profit professional association working to increase awareness and promote the value of Search Engine Marketing worldwide.” If you were wondering, these guys are for real. I recommend that anyone who is in the SEM/SEO field either in your own firm or in a division in a large organization to join as some level member.

For the details with the meeting read on.

Search Engine Strategies (SES) December conference is hosted by Danny Sullivan from SearchEngineWatch.com. I have more accurate numbers as to the turn out from Jupitermedia (not sure if I should disclose my contact or not) – there were actually ~900 attendees for the conference sessions and an additional ~300 exhibitor only on hand. That is an awesome turn out for a conference of this nature being held in Chicago in mid-December. I will be providing my view of the speakers and courses I attend and report them at the end of the day. Day two really got me thinking about the future of search and where we will be in a year or so from now. I had to break in into two parts because the blog limited me to how much I can post.

For day two part two please read on...

Search Engine Strategies (SES) December conference is hosted by Danny Sullivan from SearchEngineWatch.com. This is the first time that the SES conference is in Chicago and it spans 3 days (many SES conferences span 2 days but the largest (in NY and CA) span 4 days). There are probably 750 – 1000 people attending this conference, this includes exhibitor only attendees. This being my first attendance of the SES conference, I cannot compare from past to present conferences, individual tracks and speakers. I will be providing my view of the speakers and courses I attend and report them at the end of the day. In the future, I hope to provide a historical perspective of the conference. As a side note, I am really tired and I hope this reads well.
