I think you make a good point: A person should have some basic knowledge about search before attending a conference. The sessions and networking best serve to build upon what's already there. Yes indeed, I get a lot out of conferences: knowledge, prospective clients, marketing partnerships, content, competitive intelligence, business networking and friends. Hope your new gig is treating you well Dave! Yes, I meant to comment here. I think you make a good point: A person should have some basic knowledge about search before attending a conference.

I hope you meant comment on your blog about Can You Really Learn Search Marketing From a Conference? and not MediaPost's. In order to comment you have to register, which I don't mind, but the registration form asks for everything except your social security number. No, to directly answer the question. I think you need to have at least a basic understand of search marketing to get anything out the sessions. So you don't really learn search marketing at conferences you just add to your knowledge and supplement your skills. I'm sure even a search veteran like yourself gets something out of the conferences. Nice nuggets, thanks!
