PubCon 2006
Twice a year WebmasterWorld puts on a Conference called PubCon. This year the Spring event is being held in Boston, MA at the Hynes Convention Center. I have never attended one of the PubCon conferences… so I’ve decided to pack up & go!
Malcolm Gladwell is the Keynote Speaker for this event. I wasnt personally familiar with him, or with his books, but I’ve heard enough great things about both to get me excited about hearing him speak. In fact, I went ahead and ordered two of his books from Amazon.com so that I could get a feel for what this guy is about.
I expect they’ll arrive at the first of the week. These are the two that I ordered:

Rae Hoffman will also be speaking at PubCon this year, so I am looking forward to that. Rae is well known as a highly successful Affiliate Marketer, and an expert SEO. And by me, she’s also known as a great friend 
I am planning to fly into Boston on Monday April 17th, and return on Friday April 21st. I am still finalizing my trip plans, but I believe I’ve decided to stay at the Hotel Commonwealth just a few blocks from the Hynes.
For more information on the event, and to see a line-up of the speakers and topics, go to: http://www.pubcon.com/ .
Let me know if you’re planning to be there – I’d love to meet some of you in person! And if there are any other ladies flying solo, send me a note if you’re interested in sharing a room for the week. With prices around the $300/night range, and double queens in most, it makes sense to find a rooming partner

DARN … Bad timig for me.
SOOOO close to home here in Rhode Island. Wish I had known about this earlier but alas … I’ll will be going out to Southern California to visit family around that time.
Would have liked to meet ya and say Hi! Maybe next time …
Not often any of these types of conferences/seminars are in my region.
But that should be a good time to be in Boston as the weather “should” be pretty decent. Boston is a GREAT city to visit.

Ahhh – what a shame! Have a great trip to Cali, tho – and I’ll keep my ear to the ground for another event on the east coast!
Great to hear from you!

Hey Lynn,
.
I’m a lady flying solo – still looking for a roomie? If so, e-mail me – I’d love to attend PubCon and almost forgot about it until I read this entry

Update!
My two books arrived TODAY! Gosh, Amazon is fast
Also, Chrissie and I will be rooming together – so that offer is closed
. We roomed together at the AbestWeb Affiliate Marketing Conference in Vegas awhile back, so it will be a fun reunion!
Post if you’re planning to be there – we can set a time & place to all meet up!

Hey Teli!
Actually, the more the merrier! There were 3 of us in Vegas, and it was a blast!
I’ll give you a call. So glad to hear you are going to be there!!
(I am SO going to pick your brain about my new WP blog haha!)

Well, I LIVE near there…
Unless I win GoodKarma’s last contest drawing, I’m afraid I won’t be attending.

How near, Dan? Maybe we can set up a meet-up at least!

[...] Finally! I’m referring to my flight to Boston for PubCon next month, by the way. [...]
[...] So, when I read that Lynn was heading off to PubCon and was looking for a roomie, I decided to take the plunge and hope for the best. I feel a little guilty because my planning wasn’t as involved as Lynn’s. [...]
Sounds Great. Wish I could go. With a 2yr old and 3 teenagers at home, not a good idea to head to Boston. Wish I would have know about the Vegas thing. That’s where I am. Let me know if you hear of anything in Vegas.
Have a safe Trip & Have Fun.
Actually, there is a PubCon event in Vegas in November! Hopefully we’ll see you there this fall

I’m VERY near Boston!
I’m up for a meet-up most definitely!!
Follow me @DanReinhold on Twitter.
Cool! I’m not sure the best time to set that up, so let me get with the girls and also look over the schedule for the conference & we’ll figure something out.

[...] The trip to Boston was wonderful. It was definitely an “experience”, to say the least . Attending my first PubCon was the highlight of course, but I also enjoyed seeing the city. [...]
