SMX Sydney 2010, done and dusted… the conference is wrapping up and I will soon be jet setting home to New Zealand. I managed to learn a few things at SMX this year, and having not been to a conference in some time, I was slightly disappointed with parts of this conference.
I followed mostly the ‘Advanced’ track hoping to get some hot tidbits and insider info that you would expect to get with the price of admission, but sadly, as usual, there wasn’t alot of dirt being dished up by this years speakers. There were some hard hitting questions to Greg Grothaus by Brent Payne during Q&A, but the most answers he gave were typical Google, ‘Sorry, we can’t talk about that right now, but if you could see it, you would be amazed’ answers, and yes, that was an actual answer!
I was really looking forward to Greg Bosers bullet proof link campaign, as link building is what I spend most of my time helping clients with, but there were technical difficulties and was cut short, he had some good sound advice for people in the room, but I wanted that little more.
I am not sure if or when I will attend another conference, when I think you can get most of the information you need following people on twitter and facebook etc.
