Online Marketing Blog

At marketing conferences readers of Online Marketing Blog mention to me frequently about the photo roundup posts we do as favorites. We certainly like to make those posts and since readers like to see them, here is a collection of favorite candids taken during SES San Jose.

There are a few additional photos from Web 2.0 Expo that I wanted to share and so I took some creative license with the timing of some of the events to tell the story of a typical conference day.

The first day of a conference for me typically starts out with registration:

A stop by the speaker/press/blogger room then rolls into keynote presentations from industry leaders and news makers like these:

Jonathan Schwartz CEO of Sun and Tim O’Reilly

Matt Cutts from Google

and Matt Mullenweg co-founder of WordPress

After finding out my new camera’s SDHC card wasn’t recognized by my Sony Vaio laptop, I was stuck taking lots of photos but not posting to Flickr as I normally would. After checking several stores I finally found a card reader and below are a few photos from the Web 2.0 Conference here in San Francisco this week.

Dave aka “PayPal Mafia” McClure

Josh Bernoff and Charlene Li of Forrester

Geoff Livingston, Brian Solis and Rohit Bhargava

As has become the practice for me while blogging conferences, I take a lot of photos. Not as many as Tamar Weinberg, Barry Schwartz or even David Berkowitz, but quite a few. Out of those photos there are daily favorites that give a visual of what the conference day was like.

Day one of Search Insider Summit here in Park City Utah was fast paced and information rich. The Compete.com opening VIP breakfast warmed things up while snow started to fall out side.

Sessions covered included Gord Hotchkiss’ opening remarks and keynote debate with Mike Margolin.
