Mierda Santa!! IzeaFest Next Week!!!

Posted on: September 3rd, 2008 by Jeremy Schoemaker

I don’t know that I have been this nervous or excited for a conference in a loooong time. I leave next Tuesday to spend a few days “behind the scenes” at Market Leverage and then its Izeafest time!!

izeafest

I will be the keynote speaker on Friday. Its the first time I will be giving a keynote speech. The speech on SEO that I gave at Ebay Live! last year felt a lot like a keynote being I was the only person on stage… it was a hour long… and I was all wired up like Steve Jobs.. anyway I am super excited!

    That is why espresso and SEO go so well together, and it’s not just the alliteration!

    I wonder what chow thinks of you being the headliner and his picture being small haha

    • Kenneth Dreyer

      Chow sucks and I’m sure his blog won’t last out 2009.

      • Melvin
        September 4, 2008 at 4:12 am

        haha.. lets see.. i think it will last for a lifetime…

      • Moneybites
        September 4, 2008 at 7:22 am

        That isn’t true. Chow will be around for a long time due to his loyal readership and the fact that he knows what he’s doing (marketing wise).

    Hi shoemoney, I like your site, I will be visiting more often.

  52. Lawrence
    September 3, 2008 at 2:39 pm

    So many events – seems like there’s one going on every three weeks…

    All of these are just a reiteration of what all their blogs talk about – but in person.

    The conference people are just setting these up to charge sponsors for these so-called ‘premium’ events.

    …Beleive dat

    At least three of those guys will be saying the same thing. Pushing the same old stuff around a very tired room.
