There's no debating it. If you missed last year's Standing-Room-Only Search Engine Strategies events in Chicago, New York, London or San Jose, you must attend this show in Chicago December 4th-7th. SES Chicago alumni need to attend as well because this industry keeps reinventing itself at an amazing pace as last year's cutting-edge program already is dated. Last year we expected a smaller crowd than our record-setting New York and San Jose events, but instead Chicago & Midwest marketing & search professionals smashed those attendance figures by turning out in huge numbers. Join your fellow marketers and SES Alumni to quickly learn how to maximize search engine marketing and optimization opportunities and stay informed of the latest search developments and solutions in this area? You can't afford to be left behind!

Join the thousands of satisfied Search Engine Strategies participants who have attended SES world wide since 1998. Here is what some recent attendees have said about SES:

"Exceptional! A world of knowledge and information in three short days. I highly recommend this event for anyone looking to increase their exposure and rankings in the search engines." Elizabeth Harvey, Harvey Marketing Group

"Great Conference—I learned a lot about what we're doing right, and what we need to improve upon in our search marketing efforts. I like the fact that the presentations were not a bunch of sales pitches (like I've seen at other conferences). The speakers were truly interested in informing the attendees and helping us learn. In addition, the exhibitors were helpful and very relevant to our business needs. Would like to have seen more SEO's exhibiting as that is a need we have. Keep the after hours events. I did more business there than in the entire conference!" Melissa Mackey, Magazineline

"This was invaluable to growing our SEM business. We are changing our service mix and revamping our Web site based on what we learned in this seminar—it will easily pay for itself!" Diane Whittakin, Page Forward Design
