Search Engine Strategies (SES) Kicks Off in Chicago for 8th Time

Event to Feature Jason Calacanis in First Appearance since Netscape Departure

Chicago, Ill. - Decemeber 4, 2006 - On the heels of a tenacious Midwestern blizzard, hundreds of marketers trekked to Chicago for the Search Engine Strategies (SES) Conference & Expo 2006 (www.searchenginestrategies.com), kicking off today through December 7th at the Hilton Chicago. In his first and only public appearance since stepping down from Netscape, Jason McCabe Calacanis is slated to deliver the keynote on Tuesday, December 5th, at 9:00 a.m. The keynote will be broadcast live on WebmasterRadio.FM

Calacanis co-founded Weblogs Inc., a network of widely read blogs including Engadget, in January of 2004. Weblogs Inc. became a wholly owned subsidiary of AOL in November of 2005, with Calacanis maintaining editorial supervision over the network. He was appointed a senior vice president of AOL, and in June of 2006, he relaunched Netscape (an AOL Company) as a news and social networking site.

In its eighth year, SES Chicago '06 is the largest SES Chicago so far with an increase of approximately 75% in fully paid attendees in comparison to the last year's event.

"We're in the midst of a thriving search engine marketing industry and the excitement is palpable," said Tim Weller, Chief Executive of Incisive Media. "Incisive is expanding in response to demand for this type of content and now hosts XX SES search marketing conferences around the world. The growth we're seeing in both exhibiting companies and attendees is phenomenal and truly speaks to the staying power of this industry."
