SES Chicago Liveblog Schedule
[Update: Links to the SES Chicago 2009 liveblog posts have been added to the schedule below.]
It hardly seems possible but it’s already December and next week is the last big search conference of the year. SEOs from all corners will converge on SES Chicago next week and Bruce Clay, Inc. will be there to see it.
For Bruce, this is a homecoming so if you want to see him thrive in his native habitat, you can check out his session on day three “Black Hat, White Hat: Does it Really Matter Anymore?” or stick around for the one day SEO training seminar on Friday, December 11 for a whole day of solid SEO core knowledge. You can get all your nagging questions from the conference answered there too.
On the other hand, if you get your kicks from fish out of water, well… what’s more out of place than a native Southern California girl in the Windy City? That’s right, nothing. I’ll be trying to type through shivers. You can bring me hot drinks by checking out my schedule below. I’ll be the girl in the scarf and mittens.

While Susan is getting ready for conference face time, I’ve had the opportunity to interview a couple of incredible SES Chicago conference speakers before the show. I’ll be sharing our convos on the blog this week. My Q&A with Muhammad Saleem, director of social media strategy at ChicagoNow, and with Andy Beal, founder of Trackur.com, author of Radically Transparent and editor of MarketingPilgrim.com, will be posted on the blog tomorrow and Thursday. Stay tuned for lots of great info from SES Chicago. :)
