With Search Engine Strategies and PubCon both headlining next week, in their own respective cities mind you, I figured that now was as good of a time as any to share with you my plans for the upcoming conferences.

I will be attending the Search Engine Strategies conference in Chicago. Why the Windy City and not PubCon in Vegas? Well, for one it is local. With just a little over an hour drive, team All Web and I will be styling and profiling at the Hilton and Towers, home of this year's SES Chicago event. In addition, it appears Seth Godin, one of my all-time favorite authors in the marketing industry, will be doing the keynote... and of course, I'm really looking forward to that.

As far as blogging goes, I not quite sure what I'll be doing. I've been debating on whether or not to post daily recaps (as I have for past conferences), or if I should wait and write a single post which recaps the entire conference. As of now I'm leaning towards the latter of the two, but you never know. In addition, I am also planning on having a guest post sometime next week featuring a complete recap of the PubCon event in Las Vegas. That should be a real treat for those of us who aren't attending.

If by chance you're going to be attending SES next week be sure to drop me a line. That, or keep an eye for me at the hotel bar. I'll be the guy puffing on a well-lit cigar... that is, if smoking is still allowed in Chicago bars.
