PubCon 2008 - The Agenda

Friday, 07 November 2008

We at Guava have been very active of late, with Gary speaking at SMX London and Teddie currently at the Web 2.0 Summit in San Francisco.

I am lucky enough to be travelling to PubCon in Las Vegas on Monday, so I thought I would share my PubCon 2008 agenda. There are around 90 sessions during the 3 day event covering a wide range of search related topics from a variety of great speakers. At any one time there can be six sessions, so it can be a tough decision to choose between them. So here is my very rough agenda for the moment -

I have already amended this agenda, so I have no doubt I will change it again - only the Friday event is set in stone. Is there a particular session or speaker you think I have missed and just have to see?
