SES San Francisco Schedule and Liveblogging

SES San Francisco and Connected Marketing Week have kicked off in the city. Bruce is presenting one-day SEO training today. Attendees of the class are doing themselves a favor by attaining a solid framework of SEO knowledge necessary for absorbing everything that will be thrown their way the remainder of the week. Attendees are also getting a sneak peak of the upcoming version 5 of the SEOToolSet and a subscription to the pre-release tools. If you’ll be at SES and want a crack at the tools, be sure to attend Bruce’s presentation and demo in the Expo Hall Theater on Tuesday at 3:00.

Susan and the rest of the crew are heading north now. You’ll find most of them in booth #406 in the Moscone West Expo Hall starting tomorrow. There are a few noteworthy exceptions, of course. On Tuesday from 1-2, Bruce and Susan will be at the Wiley booth, #407, signing SEO All-In-One for Dummies. And on Wednesday at 11, Bruce is heading up the session SEO 101. Also Wednesday, anyone who’s anyone will be at the IM Charity Party from 8-11 at Roe Restaurant. All proceeds of the party are going to fund clean water projects in developing countries. Party with your favorite marketers and give to a great cause? It’s a no brainer.

Finally, and most exciting for me as a cheerleader on the sidelines, the blog will be liveblog central for SES thanks to guest bloggers who rock my world. I have to give a special shout out to these exceptional Internet marketers who will be sharing their expertise and speedy typing abilities with us this week.
