2007 is a one day conference on search marketing happening in Dublin. I and

some confusion on that front, as with some other shows. My
Where’s Danny Sullivan Speaking
At In 2007? post explains more about this, in terms of what I’m organizing

Detroit and Minneapolis. OK, you don’t know that from the official AdWords
seminar site. One of the seminar leaders, Brad Geddes,
says its so.
April 10-13 – New York – Conference
SES NY 2007
returns for another year to New York, with the usual four day jam packed agenda
of sessions that I’m in charge of programming. But hey, Danny — I thought you
weren’t doing SES any more? Or are you doing all of them. I know, I know,
there’s some confusion apparently given the email I’m getting. Short story: I’m
programming SES NY, co-programming SES San Jose with Chris Sherman and then
speaking and moderating at SES Chicago.
Where’s Danny Sullivan Speaking
At In 2007? and
Reminder:
Danny Sullivan Is Only Programming SES NY 2007 & SES San Jose 2007 explains
all this much more. Incisive — which owns SES — is also continuing to run
small group training classes that began last year at SES San Jose. In New York,
these
will happen on April 9.
I’ll leave it off there for now, then do a further update next month. Don’t
forget, Search Engine Land’s own
SMX Advanced show
is set for June 4 & 5 in Seattle, and we also
announced
two more shows recently.
SMX Local & Mobile will be in Denver from Sept. 19-20 and
SMX Social Media in New York from Oct. 16-17.
Did I miss something? Feel free to add other shows over the period above in
