The Search Engine Strategies conference returned to the Hilton Hotel in beautiful downtown Chicago. Seeing how my office is only 1 1/2 hours outside of the city, I was among the many who were in attendance.
Overall, I thought the show went quite well. I was able to jot down a few worthy notes, as well as pick the brains of some of the SEO industry's brightest minds. In addition to meeting up with some of my old conference buds, I also had the opportunity to meet a few other interesting people... which I guess is sort of the point of such conferences. Enjoy the pictures!
