This year's August Search Engine Strategies (SES) conference returned to the San Jose Convention Center, and featured several new tracks, sessions, and speakers. It's a good thing too, because I really needed an excuse to get away from the very humid summer we've been having here in Illinois. Nothing beats a cool San Francisco Bay breeze and clam chowder.
This year's exhibit hall was much larger than any previous that I've attended and featured a few new vendors to meet and talk with. Overall... I wouldn't exactly say that I walked away with tons of information, as I did with previous conferences, but I did come across a few new SEO strategies and tools to look into.
