Schedule for Ad:Tech San Francisco 2008

Hi, Friends. It’s time to talk about what sessions we’ll be covering at the next search-related conference. This time it’s Ad:Tech San Francisco and Susan is the one who will be doing all the liveblogging while I sit home-side consuming fruity drinks with little umbrellas in them. Ah, how the tides have changed.

Bruce has returned from Australian SEO training and will be moderating the Tactical SEO Workshop on Thursday, April 17th. You can catch him will speakers Aaron D’Souza (Google), Bill Macaitis (Fox Interactive Media) and Stacie Ito (AT&T). It should be a good one, so be sure to catch it if you’re in town.

And because no conference is complete without our extensively awesome liveblogging coverage, below you’ll find a tentative list of where Susan will be during the show.

Why is Susan’s schedule tentative? Because if there’s a session you think she should be attending but isn’t, we’d like you to let us know. If you think that instead of attending a session, she should be having a meeting with you, let us know. If you think she should skip an entire day of sessions to go shopping for presents for me and Virginia in San Francisco, let us know that too. It’s like your very own Choose Susan’s Adventure story. Fun, right?
