>I have no relationship with SEOClass.

Other than getting to know us from some great times at pubcon;)

Benevolent - I would definitely encourage you to hit the closest pubcon to your area to get a feel for it. Vegas is quite inexpensive if you don't gamble actually. Flights/hotels are reasonable, and can be used as a tax writeoff as well.

Looking back - I can definitely see my first pubcon as a turning point in my career, and echo caveman's sentiments that my only regret would be not going sooner.

With regards to the SEOClass - we're very excited to have such a fantastic group of folks together - and I think it will be extremely helpful to attendees.

Until we put on our first SEO Class for non-profits - I thought "this can't be too hard". Believe me, I have a whole new appreciation for just how difficult it is to plan a conference correctly. Luckily, we're now with pros, so us SEO'rs can focus on the things we do best. Helping folks to understand SEO/SEM better through teaching concepts that will help create actionable strategies for moving up the rankings.

Cheers to some great stuff to come.
