This year’s San Jose trip was truly remarkable. The conference featured several new sessions including one on analyzing search algorithms and another where panelists shared some of their most valuable search engine related tools.
The expo hall was a real treat as well. It featured many more vendors than the previous Chicago conference. Needless to say that I flew home with mountains of information and ideas to test and plan for future projects... which is what usually happens after attending these types of shows. Enjoy my pictures.
