Busy Travel Year, Indeed

  • by Missy Ward

I get a lot of requests asking me what conferences I recommend to folks that are into affiliate marketing, search marketing and social media.

There's certainly a lot to choose from and since every dollar counts these days, I decided to put a list together of conference and tradeshows that I personally recommend and plan on attending this year.

If I run out of steam based on this schedule, my wonderful business partner Shawn will be there in my place.

PubCon South – March 11-13 – Austin
SXSW Interactive Show – March 13-18 – Austin, TX
Search Engine Strategies – March 23-27 – New York
BarCamp Orlando – April 18 – Orlando
Ad:Tech – April 21-23 – San Francisco
SOBCon – May 1-3 – Chicago
Inbound Marketing Summit – May 27-28 – Dallas
Internet Retailer – June 15-18 Boston
Linkshare Symposium East – June 22-23 – New York

If you're going to be at any of these events, let's make plans to meet up. I just love seeing old friends and meeting new ones.

If you're not going to make any of these, look for coverage of the events in upcoming issues of FeedFront Magazine.

Lastly, if you know of an established conference not listed here, that you think I should be attending, let me know. I'm always looking for new opportunities.

*Shameless plug. But hey, it's my blog, I can do whatever I want.

This Blog is on Vacation

  • by Missy Ward

I am headed off to vacation, somewhere in Punta Cana this week. My husband actually arranged for the entire trip and I found out the destination, only yesterday. The resort however, remains a mystery.

In exchange for my hubby planning the entire holiday, he has asked that I limit my “online time” to 30 minutes per day. I think that's somewhat fair and I intend to play along (for the first few days anyway.) 🙂

During the last few vacations that I've been on, there has always been one “Top Story” that dragged me back to my PC numerous times each day:

  • Cancun, 2007 – Anna Nicole Smith Corpse Fight
  • Costa Rica, 2007 – Paris Hilton goes to Jail
  • Aruba, 2007 – Natalee Holloway's case hits the news again, the week I'm in Aruba.
  • This time, there are so many good “stories” going on that I don't know how I'm going to disconnect! Here are the ones I'm going to be keeping an eye on:

    PepperJam vs. CJ

  • Scott Jangro's Blog
  • Sam Harrelson on Revenews
  • Carsten Cumbroski on Revenews
  • ABestWeb
  • The Eliot Spitzer Fallout (insert evil laugh here)

    The SXSW Music and Media Conference coverage

    and of course the Elections!

    So while I'm gone, instead of boring you with blog posts about my new favorite island drink, how great my tan is coming along or about the things that have scarred my eyes forever (think speedo), I've decided to just point my readers (or lack thereof) to the content that I'll be following so that we can all be on the same page when I get back 🙂

    Voy a la playa – Adios!
