SES Chicago Winds of Change

Today kicks off another Search Engine Strategies conference, this time in the windy and bleeping cold city of Chicago. 

Change has been in the air for SES with the naming of Stewart Quealy as VP of content development, responsible for creating conference program content for all SES events and training. Also, Marilyn Crafts (whom I like to call “Super Star”) was promoted to senior program director and will work with program development, speaker selection and event strategy.  

Then there’s the really big news of Matt McGowan being promoted to VP/Publisher for Incisive Media’s Digital Marketing Businesses which includes the ClickZ network, Search Engine Watch and the Search Engine Strategies conference.

What does this mean for SES?  I hope to find out this week when I attend and get a chance to talk to and congratulate Matt, Stewart and Marilyn in person. While we’re there, TopRank staff will be presenting on two sessions (PR SEO and Blog SEO).

If you’re at SES Chicago and using Twitter, be sure to use the hashtag #seschicago in your Tweets so everyone can follow the conversation.
