Cool! How much fun you can have with public speaking when you’re comfortable with it. You must need it as a balance to sitting in front of a screen all day, interacting virtually. Apparently our brains are going to forget how to talk to people face-to-face within a few generations of facebook/Twitter domination … not you though ;-)

Yeah, attending a SEO and SEM conference has it’s own certain advantages.
There are good opportunities to know really what’s going on right in the industry,
and one can define their strategy too.

Conferences are always fun. I’m actually going to one this wednesday, but as a participant, not as a speaker. I have a bit of a problem with speaking to strangers in public, but I’ll hope to pass it. You know, most people consider public speaking worser then death itself!

Hey Glen, I wasn’t sure if I go at all till the end due to some obligations. Also you need to spend some time in order to use the new contacts for mutual benefit. I’d like to write to all the people who chatted me up because of their projects but was unable not only due to a large backlog of other “offers to write”.

Btw.: The only reason I can imagine why you haven’t been invited yet is that you’re beyond reach in South Africa,.

Hey Tad, great stuff…I didn’t realise you were speaking at the conference.

I would love to do something similar one day when time and interest permits, hope it went well for you.

Hey Jamess, it was great to talk to other like minded people but with my tight schedule I came, spoke and returned. Being a freelancer just taking off 2 days means nobody else will do my work during that time so I could only spare one day or rtaher a few hours.

david: Well thank you for bothering me in the first place :-) It was a great experience. From the business perspective you should have some goals I think going to a search conference. Aquiring new clients? Getting known in the industry? Getting more know-how? I got a little bit of everything. I’m not sure if I’ll be able to capitalize on it as I have too many clients already to deal with 5 new ones etc.

well, most of us HAVE to use conferences like that for networking, exchanging views and speaking to potential clients…

And our industry is a friendly one, with nice, open, funny people (I really had fun there, honestly!)

Lucky you, if you can just sit at home and do you own thing :-)

We´ll make sure not to bother you again..
