I’m honored to be a part of next tuesday evenings SEM Hotseat, because we have another guest star coming in from out of town to speak.

I’m going to go out on a limb and risk embarrassment by admitting that I did not recognize the name Matt McGee when Todd Mintz mentioned him about 18 months ago in a discussion about “people we’d like to get to Portland some day” while we were at an SEMpdx board meeting. (Sorry Matt

I’ll be on a panel at Innotech this year, because for the first time, there will be live website reviews taking place at the conference,  here in Portland Oregon.

The entire conference is scheduled for next Wednesday, April 16th and Thursday April 17th,  but the live SEM Hotseat is Thursday April 17 3:30 PM in Room D135

Today I got confirmation from Brett Tabke that I will be participating in not just one, but two sessions at Pubcon Vegas 2007. The first will be in one of the Web hosting & SEM sessions, and for the second I will get to sit on one of the site review panels.

I will be giving an internet marketing presentation to a small group of about 50 realtors next Wednesday, August 15th, 2007, from real estate companies all over Oregon.

The subject matter came as a request from a local title company, and the presentation is called “12 things you can do to get your website noticed”, and will be non-technical, yet filled with information that small business owner can take to the bank.

I’m happy to announce that I’ve now received a final confirmation from Brett Tabke that I will be one of the speakers at the 2007 Las Vegas Pubcon show, December 4 - 8.

As this industry grows, I know there are many people getting their feet wet speaking a different conferences.  Still, as a long time attendee of several previous Pubcon shows, I consider it an honor to be selected, and I’m pretty damn excited about it!

The August meeting of Portland Oregons premier search marketing group will be a return of everyone’s favorite event, the SEO Hot Seat, by SEMpdx.

We will also be returning to the Hotel Deluxe, and like always, it promises to be educational as well as entertaining.

This month, the panelists are:

• Leo Chung - Overland Agency

If you are attending tomorrow night’s Hot Seat website review session that I’m moderating for SEMpdx, then please be sure to note that the location is not in the usual place, the Hotel deLuxe.

Instead it will be at the Portland Ecotrust building, located at 721 NW Ninth Avenue Portland, OR 97209 - Here is a map

The next SEM Hotseat event coming up on Tuesday June 12th is sold out already for site reviews, but there is still room left for attendees to watch and learn. It’s a hands-on search marketing class featuring local websites.
