SES Toronto '09 - What Sessions Do You Want Covered?

Posted by Paul Marek on Fri, June 5, 2009 11:58 AM · Filed under Calgary, Edmonton, Montréal, Ottawa, Toronto, Vancouver, Victoria, Kitchener-Waterloo, Atlantic-Canada , Social Media · Comments

Hey everyone. Yesterday Rob Lewis informed me that in response to his post May 29 looking for a local correspondent, I was graciously selected to cover SES Toronto '09 (Search Engine Strategies Conference & Expo) next Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday (June 8, 9 and 10) for Techvibes. So, I thought I'd introduce myself today - and ask which sessions you'd like to see covered?

Firstly, my name is Paul Marek and I frantically run 3RING.com, a 10 year old online marketing firm located virtually in Toronto, Vancouver and Halifax, and physically (for me) in a log cabin in the countryside hills of Caledon, Ontario - about 45 minutes north of Toronto. I'd like to offer immense gratitude to Rob for granting me this opportunity (thanks a million Rob!), and I hope I can provide you his readership with some quality, almost-real-time coverage of the conference!

Next, I'd like to know what sessions you'd like to see covered?

Each day starts with a keynote speaker (Tara Hunt - Monday, Emanuel Rosen - Tuesday) followed by three or four 1.25 hour time slots with three available sessions per time slot. Because I'll only be able to attend one session per time slot, I'd like to know which sessions you'd like to see covered rather than me be selfish and see what I want to see.

Here's a link to Monday's schedule and Tuesday's schedule. Tell me which sessions you'd like to see in the comments below - I'll get to whatever sessions get the most requests.

Here's the itinerary I proposed to Rob, so that's one vote for the sessions I've mentioned!
