Anyone ever been to a search engine seminar? I heard of one, "SES" Search Engine Strategies, that are held in New York, Chicago, Tokyo, Toronto, Europe, and all over the world What's the big deal with these? Wouldnt the internet / digital point contain all the same info? Anyone ever go to any of these? Anyone ever hear of SES?
Personally haven't heard of SES. I've personally been to the SMX conference in Sydney, Australia earlier this year. Quite honestly it's just filled with SEO firms trying to sell their services. The actual lectures were very basic, even the ones classified as advanced. You'll get more from forums like this, then the conferences. Then again if you're looking for a job in the industry these events are a good opportunity to find a prospective employer.
