Whew! The Spring conference season is in full swing, and the mozzers are coming soon to a city near you. You'll find us anywhere from Charlotte, NC to Munich to Singapore in the next couple months. The coolest part is that we're attending and speaking at some conferences for the very first time. It feels good to get out and stretch a bit! Plus, the developer in us will be attending conferences like Chirp and CCGrid 2010 which will both enhance our geek factor!

As always, if you're attending any of these events, please say hello! We may never get to know you if you don't wave, nudge, or kick us. Ok, you really shouldn't kick Joanna, she'd probably pull a ninja move on you. Included in the list below are both SEOmoz employees as well as associates. Come... take a peek and join us!

SMX Toronto - April 8-9

You definitely don't want to miss SMX Toronto! Not only will Gillian be moderating several panels, but she is also organizing a Search Spam Party (of PubCon notoriety). RSVP now!

Chirp - San Francisco - April 14-15

Twitter is having a first ever developer conference, called Chirp. Nick will learn about their new ad platform (hopefully) and what they're doing with their API. This is super interesting to us for both our tools and our API businesses. Sounds like an awesomely, geekified conference! Be sure to say hello to Nick if you're there.

Danny at SEOmoz training in London

SMX Sydney - April 22-23

We're all quite excited about SMX Sydney this year (ok we are every year... but still). This year Danny will be helping run the Developer Day (filling in for Vanessa Fox) as well as speaking about using rich applications and search. Gillian will also be speaking at this power-packed event on post-click optimization.

Pacific Conference - Singapore - April 27-28

"This will be my first time at Pacific Conferences. I'll be running a power-packed two day workshop that covers everything from the basics of search marketing to integration of social media into marketing plans and tracking ROI from the multitude of search marketing opportunities available to us. I'll be sharing the stage with Dennis Yu, CEO BlitzLocal, who will be covering PPC, Facebook advertising, social media marketing, and more. In truth, I expect this will be one of the most valuable conferences in the region this year. If you're in the area, don't miss this one!"

SEMPO event planned, too. Stay tuned for tweets with specifics on a SEMPO event to coincide with Pacific Conference Singapore.

SAScon - Manchester, UK - April 28th

Two of our esteemed associates, Tom Critchlow and Richard Baxter will be speaking at SAScon. Reading over the session topics and seeing the list of speakers, makes me jealous I won't be attending!

Pacific Conference - Hong Kong - April 29-30

"If you miss the Singapore Training event, you can catch us in Hong Kong the same week! Dennis and I will provide the same presentation. Again, if you go to only conference in the region this year, come to Pacific Conference. This will be one amazing show."
- Gillian

Search & Social Spring Summit - Tampa - May 3-4

The Search & Social Spring Summit is pretty much the place to be in May! Really... Florida in May just sounds like perfection! Plus with topics like "Outsourcing Secrets: Cut Costs & Spend More Time on the Beach" and "In-House SEO : Tactics for Managing Multiple Sites & Headaches" it will definitely be hot! Lindsay and I will be attending and blogging from the event. [Plus I get to meet the Wassell babies YAY!]

Our friends at Distilled will be there and Ben Jesson who helped us with our own conversion rates will sharing secrets.

Rand giving an interview in London

eMetrics & SMX London - May 17-18

Both eMetrics and SMX London are happening at the same time, in the Grand Connaught Rooms, Covent Garden. You can get a combo pass for both conferences, then you don't have to decide between the two! Sounds like the best of both worlds to me. :)

CCGrid 2010 - Melbourne - May 17-20

Chas will be attending the 10th IEEE/ACM International Symposium on Cluster, Cloud and Grid Computing. It's a great opportunity to be exposed to new ideas/methods in high performance distributed computing. (That's geek talk for kick butt!)

Search Exchange - Charlotte, NC -  May 17 - 19

Search Exchange will consist of keynotes and panel discussions on search engine optimization, social media marketing, pay per click advertising, and web analytics.

"I am so excited for Search Exchange, its the first conference of its kind down in Charlotte. It's tackling the trifecta of marketing channels--organic, paid and social. Not to mention the lineup is top-notch with industry all stars like Chris Winfield, Rae Hoffman, and Chris Brogan."
- Joanna
