Poll: Which Conference Should Nathania Attend Next Year?

December 3, 2007

This week, PubCon and SES Chicago are taking place. Both are two popular conferences for those in online marketing, social media, and search engine marketing.

Next year, I might finally get to go to my first conference. Since I’ve never been to one, I want your input.

Which conference should I attend next year? My main interests are social media, blogging, conversational marketing, and interactive learning environments.

• SXSW Interactive - March 7-11, 2008 in Austin, Texas (I want to visit Austin - and concurrently attend SXSW Film!)
• SMX Social Media - April 2008, Los Angeles, California (My bro lives here, and I’ve never been!)
• OMMA West - TBD - Last year it was March in Hollywood - (ok, they haven’t announced it, but this is when and where it occurred last year and I heard fantastic things about it. Again, chance to visit my bro is a plus)
• OMMA East - Sept 2008 NYC
• 2008 Media Summit - March 12-13 in NYC (looks very forward thinking about interactive media, plus it’s in the Big Apple!)
• BlogWorld - (assuming there’s a second one) Nov 2008, Las Vegas
• PubCon - Nov/Dec 2008, Las Vegas (thinking it’s a bit too SEO for my taste
• q - oops my cat typed that in. sorry!
• _________________________________ (Fill in the blank with your suggestion.)
• ad:tech Chicago - are they having this again next year? (Chicago is the home of improv, and it’s yet another great city I need to visit. but will the conference be a bit, um, too “corporate” for my taste?)

I would really like to have fun and meet cool, laid-back people. I want a real experience and real networking. I’m not going to try to get “in” with the A-list crowd or whatever. So, dear readers, which conference should I attend (if i get to go)?
