If you are serious about your Web based business, then chances are you will want to participate in WebmasterWorld’s Search Conference coming in June of this year. Having said this, if you are finding that it is conflicting with your plans to go to Gnomedex, I think there is little point in stating what the obvious choice should be. Remember last year? I heard they had keynotes that basically blew the tires off of anything you would find anywhere else. Still, the WebmasterWorld’s Search Conference sounds like a lot of fun.

WebmasterWorld announced today that the ninth World Search Conference, focused on search engines, affiliates & advertising, and webmasters & e-commerce, will be held in New Orleans June 21-24, 2005.

Brett Tabke, CEO of WebmasterWorld.com said, “With over 70 leading industry speakers, sponsors from the top tier search engines, and a classic PubCon, our November Las Vegas event pulled in over 1200 attendees.” Returning again as a Premier sponsor is InfoSearchMedia.

InfoSearchMedia CEO Steve Lazuka said, “The audience is one of the most influential demographics we reach. These are the people connectors. When this audience moves, the entire internet follows.”

Tabke added, “Events, such as AdTech, Etail, SES (Search Engine Strategies), and the DMA are pulling delegates from a broad range of industry sectors and we’re seeing our events do the same. Interest is particularly strong from affiliate agents and managers, search engine marketing agencies, and from major corporate online and bricks and mortar businesses. The common aspect is that they are all seeking ideas to improve their business model, and the WebmasterWorld conferences provide the perfect catalyst for any sector.”

WebmasterWorld, in association with SearchEngineWorld, is actively planning several other conferences around the world (Including the UK, and Las Vegas) for 2005. Dates for the future conferences will be announced soon.
