SES New York 2009

I've been speaking at SES for a very long time now. And the New York show has always been a favourite (but they're all great, of course). But this year was soooo different. First off, I walked to the event because I live about ten minutes away from the Hilton. And second... I didn't get to pack a suitcase and go home to the UK. I'm so used to that ritual after the New York show. BooHoo! I miss my pub in the UK and it's going to be a loooooong time before I can get back.

Anyhoo... Chin up and think of the fun lifestyle you have in New York, Grehan!

So, I moderated a few sessions. Didn't do any panels this time.

My favourite session was the "SEO Where To Next" panel I moderated. Maybe that's because I invented the session ;-) But it was very lively and lots and lots of great feedback. I shall be using my considerable influence to ensure that we have it again in San Jose. I think my pal Andrew Goodman is too far into his agenda to squeeze it in for the Toronto show.

Our booth was very nice again.

A little orange, with some orange effects and a little extra orange on the side.

My job on the booth is always a difficult one... As you can see :-)

Our brave and fearless leader, Acronym CEO, Anton Konikoff supported the troops, as usual. Here he is with Global Account Director, Stephanie Hart.

Always nice to catch up with friends and colleagues at SES. And here's my dear sweet friend Amy Labroo arriving at the booth with essential requirements... Yes, she brought the Merlot :-)

OK got start cranking up for my annual pilgrimage to SES, Toronto.

But you west coast folks, don't forget the fabulous eMetrics Marketing Optimization Summit May 4-7 in San Jose this year. See you there!
