We don't seem to have a party thread yet, so here goes. First question: When is the Google Dance? Tuesday? I need to make travel plans.

[fsmedia]

I'll be there for the whole conference, can't wait!

it will be my first SES event and my first Google dance attendence!!

I think that Joe is working on a party thread now, some of the engines have been slow at releasing info.

Google Dance invitation announced on Tuesday night. RSVP requested.

See San Jose pages on SES homepage http://www.searchenginestrategies.co...07/glance.html

I'm awaiting some details so that I have more than 1 party to post

Official party thread should hopefully be up by weeks end.

I am very excited about attending the ses san jose 2007, my first conference ever and I can't wait for the google dance. I have heard a lot of great things about not only the conference but all the extra curricular activities that go on.

You have NO idea....

Since this is my first time attending, what should I be expecting? Is there anything I should be looking out for? How hard will it be for me considering I won't know anyone there or anything thats going on? I am excited but nervous.

Is the Yahoo party happening this year?

SES at Chicago was the first conference I attended. Learning wise, I did not think I gained a lot. However, the connections I made were excellent.

Last year was my first SES and I missed most parties simply because I didn't know about them, so I hope to find them here.

By the way, has anyone else noticed that the SES San Jose site at http://www.searchenginestrategies.com/sew/sj07/ appears to only be Firefox-friendly? If I go there in IE7, the big blue nav bar that is supposed to be on the left covers up the right side of the content area. Sometimes if I reload the page in IE7, it will move back to the left, but another reload pushes it back to the right. I tried it on two different PCs.

Tsk, tsk...

Sorry to get off-topic.

I think it's to stop people using Internet Explorer from attending (and rightly so!), although I'll pass this along in case it is a bug.

Great. I looked all over the site when I first noticed it, but didn't see a link to a webmaster or anything except registration stuff.

Sold. I've booked a 14 hour direct flight from Sydney, Australia on the basis of this comment

Kidding of course - but I will be flying out to my first SES event. The overseers decided to let me out of my cage.

[danielos4ever]

I am coming in on Sunday morning, are there any events on Sunday or do all the events go on between Mon and Thur?

[sheseltine]

My first time in SJ, but I know from NY & CHI, that the night before usually involves finding the hotel bar that everyone is gathered at...

Hey I tried to PM you but it says that you are not accepting private messages. Email me about SES: natasha at thatgirlfrommarketing.com. I just booked a room at the Crowne Plaza, but I can cancel.

[victorcab]

What's the best party list?

Hi Natasha, sorry I didn't click the right button so people could contact me. I'll send an email and we can be in touch. Are you arriving same dates 8/20 and departing 8/23? If so, hope we can connect. It's better at the Fairmont, free wireless because I'm a member of presidents club. More in email. cb
