Why We Love
Pubcon!
 By Lee
Odden
This week offers one of the most significant opportunities for
those in the search marketing world to up their knowledge, industry
networks and have a great time doing it.
WebmasterWorld’s Pubcon conference
in Las Vegas has acquired a certain gravitational pull that’s
impossible to ignore. There are many reasons why this is true,
so I’ve pinged a few Pubcon veterans to share why they love
Pubcon and why it’s something search marketers should seriously
consider getting involved with.
We don’t have 100 reasons just yet, but that’s our
goal, so please be sure to leave yours in the comments. Not only
is this a great collection of reasons why search marketers appreciate
Pubcon, but it’s also a great list of some of the top search
marketing talent and blogs in the industry. The list is in order
of replies received.
Jeremy
Shoemaker (Shoemoney) - I like Pubcon because its a no B.S.
conference. The speakers are not there because of their position
in a company but rather because they have experience actually DOING
what they are speaking about. I learn more at Pubcon then any other
conference.
Aaron
Wall - It is cool to hang out with exceptionally successful
and down to Earth people working in the same field I am in.
Michael
Dorausch, DC - Attended my first Pubcon in 2006. While there
was a lot to learn and the speakers were top-notch, there was nothing
more valuable to me than the camaraderie experienced among attendees.
It was refreshing to be around others of like mind, which gave
me a calming sense of sanity, and a motivation to drive forward
with even greater enthusiasm. I’d recommend this event to
anyone who’s experienced frustration in their online marketing
efforts, optimization methods, or Web development. The answers
you seek are there, but you’ve got to step out of your comfort
zone, and let those ideas come to you.
Bill
Hartzer - Lee odden will be there with his camera. i love the
networking opps.
Andy
Beal - PubCon attracts attendees from so many different verticals,
job functions, and areas of expertise, that you always meet someone
who can teach you something new...
