SEMpdx SearchFest 09 Rawked!

Posted on: 03-11-2009 Posted in: Blog, Events, Search Industry Posted by: Ben Lloyd | Email the Author

We’ll be posting the team’s thoughts shortly, but I wanted to seize the opportunity today to put down a few links and leave a few of thoughts of my own.

As president of SEMpdx, I was really proud of the quality of the event. Having had to plan SearchFest on my own previously – I know it’s not easy and takes a lot of extra time & effort to pull together. I had the luxury of not having to worry about a thing this year and I really want to thank SEMpdx for all their hard work. We had some top speakers from around the country and even a few folks from town (special thanks to local heroes Kerry McClenahan, Rick Turoczy & Dawn Foster… I’m sure I’m forgetting someone).

Some interesting stuff here:

  • Twitter was absolutely BLOWING UP with tweets about SearchFest (Did Janet Johnson lead the pack?) – see SearchFest 09 tweets here
  • Lots of blog posts – there will be more. See SearchFest 09 blog posts here
  • Fox News stopped by to cover SearchFest 09 (thanks Amy Rosenberg!) – here’s the SEMpdx SearchFest 09 story along with the short video

We’ll follow up soon with more on SearchFest

    I’ve been reading comments on searchfest. The concept of reworking old technologies and making them new made me chuckle as I recalled tossing a hard copy of the new yellow pages that had been sitting by my door for weeks. I suppose I could have kept it for a door jam.

    Thanks for reading. I kinda chuckled about the yellow pages ‘interview’ as well.
