SES Awards Entries: Deadline Extension

Due to the volume of nervous and sometimes scary requests for an extension, we are moving back the deadline for entries to July 18, 2008.

The SES Awards event promises to be most exciting at this year's San Jose Search Engine Strategies event. I've been pretty surprised at the volume and quality of awards submissions. While I won't give away any details, I can tell you the competition will be heavy.

Please have your entries in no later than July 18th as there will be no more extensions.

SES San Jose and SES Awards

San Jose Update

Since I have gotten so many emails asking for an extension, (we are very accomodating folks At SES) I am extending the deadline for speaker proposals to June 30. Bear in mind that invitations to speak are being sent out on an ongoing basis.

Though we have closed the submissions for new sessions, the San Jose agenda will be posted on or about June 15th, so you'll have 2 more weeks after that to get your pitches in for the posted sessions.

SES Awards

The buzz continues to build for the SES Awards. I have been very surprised at the number of submissions for the awards, so make sure you get yours in by June 30.
