I post at SearchCommander.com now, and this post was published 18 years 14 days ago. This industry changes FAST, so blindly following the advice here *may not* be a good idea! If you're at all unsure, feel free to hit me up on Twitter and ask.
Don’t let posts like this fool you, it’s nothing but work, work, work at these things. There’s no fun, no relaxation, and only hours and hours of mind numbing education and networking. I didn’t even know they served alcohol… I’m shocked!
Seriously, there’s good advice there, especially his Tips for Pubcon newbies. You’re not attending this event to only hear what’s said in the sessions, you’re there to learn the deep dark search engine secrets that are never shared publicly, right?
Don’t be a wallflower. Take advantage of your opportunity, and buy someone a drink. You can even start with me, although I guess I’m not worth any points… 🙁
