SEO & Online Marketing Meetings

With the demise of ThreadWatch and the move away from public forums to personal blogs and private forums, there is a need for a place where SEOers and online marketing people can find out who is meeting where, when and the nature of that event, ie big paid-for conferences or smaller, more personal "unofficial" meets.

SeoCircuit was created to meet this need.

So, whether you are looking to organise a meeting for 100 like-minded individuals over a few pints, or whether you are at a loose-end after a business trip and just want to avoid sitting in a strange hotel in a strange city - this forum welcomes your post.

If you wish to organise a "fringe" meeting as an extra to your attending a large conference - this is the place to post.

September 14th, 2007 to September 15th, 2007 12:30 to 23:30
A few of us UK SEOers are organising a meet in Manchester on September 14/15th.

Since there has been a serious lack of meets across the board this year, we would like to make this known to as many people as possible
Britannia Hotel Manchester city centre - plenty of rooms at the moment - Friday £69 for b&b single, Sat £89 for b&b single - Friday £70 for b&b double, Sat £105 for b&b double.

Like the original PubCon all attendees are responsible for paying their own way with drinks, meals etc, no sponsors, no presentations etc, etc - you know the score

Who should attend?

Anyone wishing to share quality time with like-minded geeks to discuss search generally, Google Universal and all that entails, social networking, FaceBook, Stumbleupon, etc, etc…

Anyone who likes a drink in the company of those whose eyes don’t glaze over after two minutes

Anyone who wants a weekend away in one of the UK’s most vibrant cities
If you are interested please post so we can get a rough idea of numbers.


Whats the Plan
Friday:
Arriving at the hotel early evening, a few drinks and then out to a restaurant.
After dining, back to the hotel bar for the 'late night session'

Saturday:
Starting in the hotel bar and then moving on to a nearby pub, (details to be published soon), where we have a large room booked for us to spend the whole day 'doing our stuff'

Off to the restuarant at around 7.30-8.00pm and then back to the hotel bar for another 'late night session'.

Unfortunately I can't make it now. Family emergency. I'm devastated, was really looking forward to it. See you at the next one guys!

Still sending 3 of the boys from the company though so hopefully you guys will make them feel welcome.

Yeah it was impressive. Well-oiled too. I missed a couple of the rsvp'ed people tho.... was that because I wasn't paying attention? I only got to talk to about half of the people.... Was nice to meet new people as well as the familiar ones. Some new to the game, others just new to me (and prolly to most other non-ex-wmw gurus).

All in all very impressed with the lot. With the people and the well-oiledness that is -- not the beer

Yeah guys, thanks for putting this together. Sorry we couldn't stick around for long. Hopefully this won't just be a one-off stopgap until the next SEO Roadshow. It'd be nice to have a regular SEO Circuit-branded meet on the calendar.

It's a start... Soz I can't be arsed to put up a nice photos page on one of my own sites.

BTW - I have some more people pics, but I will only post those if the people on them are ready to claim their fame (as in: add a name to the face in the pic).

PS: got the camera this very weekend in Manchester. It's fookin' great - way better than the photographer is in fact so most of the pics turned out ok after all.

Thumbs up Thank you all, love
The fact that after the meeting I had a short stop in Amsterdam makes me a little bit "biased", but still -
The manchester meeting was my first time into this sort of seo meetings and I really had a great time plus got to know really great people.
Hope next time I'll get to understand every word in "British"...

Cheers!

Yeah, thanks for a great weekend and the excuse to have Stella shandy for breakfast .

Hope to see you all in Spain in January - I'll sort dates out sharpish and promise a hotel infinitely better than the Britannia - particularly the suicidal no window rooms

Hi Guys

Thanks 4eyes for doing such a great job sorting everything out. I had a great time and I really enjoyed catching up with the old gang and also meeting so many new people.
