Social Media and Search Conference, Pubcon
I heading out today to Las Vegas for Pubcon which, according to their website, is four days of leading edge education and networking in over 90 sessions featuring 200 expert speakers in Social Media, Affiliate Programs, Search, and SEO/SEM. The ‘Pub’ part of pubcon is related to something in the distant past where a gaggle of geeks gathered at a pub somewhere to speak geek. We still get to go to a pub-like place on the final day but in Las Vegas, that is more likely to be a casino bar that is unlikely to resemble a pub. Most of the conference takes place at the Las Vegas Convention Center.
The conference begins Monday night and I hope to do some live blogging from the sessions. It’s a first for me and live blogging sounds fairly challenging but, at a minimum, you can expect a daily report on the latest news in Search and Social Media.
The conference has seven simultaneously streams.
- SEO: Organic Search
- SEM: Search Marketing
- Twitter: Social Media
- Affiliates
- The WebmasterWorld
- Interactive Site Reviews
- Emerging Media
I hope to attend at least one session in each stream but my focus will be SEO, SEM and Social Media. Representatives of Google, Yahoo, and Bing will be there as well as other leading lights in the industry. If you have any questions you’d like me to ask, let me know via a comment on this blog.
While you’re waiting for all this fresh information, I’d like to recommend an article entitled, “Eight Reasons to Stop Ignoring Twitter.”
