You might meet up another website owner.. who might be willing to pay u to write articles for him.. or giv u a job.. 3. If you are conducting the conference.. if u hav gud publicity and marketing.. u can earn gud amount of money in no time.. i bet!

See you next week... now, in answer to your q's: What value do you get out of going to these big conferences? 1. Networking, Networking, Networking, did I say Networking? 2. Breath of learning opportunities - 70+ sessions on Search? Where else can you find that? Are they any better or worse than smaller, more intimate conferences? I don't think so - size is not really all that important (conference size that is) Which do you prefer, and what do you come home with of value (other than quality schwag)? I have found value in both small and large shows... again its not the size its the relevancy of the topics covered (to you and your business) and quality of the speakers and delegates.
