Sweet 16 at SES

There’s a sense of anticipation in the San Jose air. It’s summertime and what’s hotter than the Fahrenheit (or Celsius) in the Silicon Valley city this time of year? Perhaps it’s the influx of high-tech and Internet companies gearing up to attend Search Engine Strategies(SES) at the San Jose Convention Center. August 20th won’t just be another Manic Monday, but instead it marks the onset of this four-day conference where attendees will learn the latest in search and search marketing developments and solutions.

Between Yahoo!’s Search and Search Marketing teams, we’re participating in a total of 16 panels throughout the four-day event, spanning topics like universal search, personalization, traffic quality, and ad targeting.

Here’s where the Yahoo! Search clan will be, but don’t forget to refer to your conference agenda to help you maneuver your way through the masses of marketers and seasoned SES alum who’ll be there.
