The Kelsey group appears to be a great organization, however I think making the transition from printed marketing and yellow books to internet and web should have been a transition made well before they put a conference together co-branded with an organization like SES.
At almost 2k per attendee I think the execs and techs were overall disappointed.
Also I feel the conference speakers dumbed down what could have potentially been some really useful information in order to satisfy the suits in attendance….. geeks were not impressed
In conclusion… I will never again attend a conference that caters to too many levels on management and or staff… you just can’t please everybody
forgot to mention that I made some great contact and that most people in the local search space ae clueless to actual internet marketing
