SES London - update

[Chris Sherman]

The agenda for the June London conference is now available here:
http://www.jupiterevents.com/sew/london05/index.html

I'm finalizing the speaker lineup over the next couple of weeks and have a few open positions for:

- Europeans with search marketing experience
- Search marketing firms running pan-European or global campaigns
- Companies (NOT SEO/SEM firms) who manage an in-house or outsourced campaign who'd like to share their story as a case study

If you're interested, please *carefully* read the following page before pitching me for a panel:

Note that there are openings on only a few panels. Also, please *don't* PM me here in the forums - I really only want email to my csherman@jupitermedia.com address.

Thanks - I look forward to seeing many of you in London!

Hey Chris

I recently took a job in London and should be there for this conference.. I am sure you have plenty of speakers, but looking for another? As you know I am slated to speak at SES TORONTO, which I am very much looking forward to, but thought I might see if there are any openings for similar clinics which I might be able to be a part of..

Cheers

Where do I find the address of the man in charge of the speakers, I have a complaint re the lack of jenstar speaking in london.

I hope, for your sakes, its not you Chris :)

Yup, I'm the guy behind the curtain for the London show. I'm wide open for pitches at this point.

Your dynamic is out of whack imho, it is you who should be making the pitches.

Just saying.

I personally would love to hear from fantomaster but I am not sure what the target audience is like in London.

Well, the majority of speakers at an SES show *are* invited - they're the best people we know of for the panels. That said, there are some great people we simply haven't yet met, who add new blood and great ideas to each show. Both Danny and I are open to hearing from these people, but then carefully consider whether they should be invited to speak or not. Just because someone makes a pitch to speak doesn't mean they're accepted - far from it. The whole point is to create a channel so people who feel they have something valuable to talk about can approach us in a way that's structured enough to save us all time - and make sure that people know we absolutely don't tolerate speakers who want only to sell their own products or services.
