Anyone ever been to a event by searchenginestrategies.com Its pricey and not sure if its worth the money?
Personally I've never been (company I work for was really keen until they saw the price, doh) but always read the excellent reports se roundtable produces covering the event. SES has an excellent reputation and the whos who in SEO are often in attendance.
I guess it is somewhat associated with http://searchenginewatch.com/ though I am not sure, I am member on that forum ( http://searchenginewatch.com/) and found they are reputed one.
