Let's Get SES Started Right
Search Engine Strategies opens next Monday, August 8, in San Jose, and continuing the tradition we began in March in New York, Ask Jeeves is throwing an opening night bash.
Last March in New York we held a little invite-only soirée at a club in the meat packing district. Those who braved the blizzard enjoyed food, drink, DJ, go-go dancers, and the highlight - a special appearance by the one and only William Hung.
This time we're stepping it up a notch. First off, every SES attendee is invited. Secondly, while there will be plenty of cocktails, food and dancing, we will also have a real band with actual musical instruments.
Of course, it's not just any band: it's The Dan Band, up from LA, who you may have seen in the movies Old School and Starsky & Hutch, or maybe on Letterman. You've never heard "Total Eclipse of the Heart" until you've heard it sung by Dan.
Lastly, we will be giving demos of our latest creation, Virtual Neptune, which we'll be debuting at the party.
The club is just a couple blocks from the conference, so come by starting at 8pm for food and drinks. All you need to do is to show your conference badge at the door. DJ will be spinning until The Dan Band takes the stage around 10 PM.
Kick Off Event Details:
Where: Studio 8 | 8 South First Street San Jose, CA | View map
When: 8pm-12am, Monday August 8
What: Free Food, Free Drinks, Free Dan Band
See you there!

When SES began, the big event was the cocktail reception at the end of the first day. Then people usually grouped up and headed off to dinner in different directions. These days, it's a dizzying collection of parties and events that are on offer. I wan... [Read More]

I'm not at all impressed by Ask Jeeves Search engine and the way it's going about to formulate its search Engine strategies. It is spending money to create a lot of noise about its name and nothing else. I don't know how it's raising money for its lavish ways. I wish I could raise money to change the way the internet is surfed. I'm very passionate about it and have created a lot of blogs to express myself. But I've not found a way to get a lot of traffic to my site although I've sindicated two of my blogs using XML feed created feedburner. It has not made any difference. Perhaps I'd learn by watching how ask Jeeves does.

Wonder how this will affect future Search Engine Stategies Conferences?

If Day 1 is any indication, SES is already on its way down. Hey Danny - the only thing worse than not adding new insight to the "Searcher Behavior" session from New York is turning it into an accounting seminar.

Regarding SES and freshness, how can it remain fresh when they have one a month somewhere on the globe. It's a money making venture and as long as people keep attending for the "party" factor they will just keep humming along.
Frankly they could sell the seminars via webcast and save everyone the trouble of attending.
Opps, I sound like a party pooper!
btw- Go Jeeves. I like the engine and the tech behind Teoma is superior to Google. Much more relevant and less cluttered results!
I can't wait to see the new ad platform.

Ask Jeeves needs to come up with a new marketing strategy to compete with google, yahoo, and msn.
