Denver SEMPO Meetup / Denver SEO Meetup
Why travel outside of Denver for great SEO and Search Engine Marketing events? Last week saw great attendance at the new Denver SEMPO Meetup (Created by the members of SEMPO’s Colorado Working Group).
This week’s Denver SEMPO meetup was an excellent educational program provided by Jim Brown, Online Marketing guru for Quark (of QuarkXPress fame). The presentation focused on opportunities in Social Media. Jim provided great information regarding Twitter, Facebook, and Facebook ads. While his presentation was friendly to all audiences, even seasoned Denver SEO professionals left with a new trick or two. And most valuable were the brand ambassador experiences Jim relayed to the group.
The Denver SEO Meetup followed, just a few blocks away. Many members attended both meetup groups. The Denver SEO Meetup is not an educational program, but a social function. Many notable SEO professionals regularly attend, but Search Marketing, Advertising, and Affiliate marketing professionals are also frequenting the meetup. Several SEOs noticed glitches in running Google ranking reports for clients that week, and it was nice to exchange what was working and not working in small informal conversations. Of course, don’t come to the Denver SEO Meetup hoping to learn all about SEO: It’s a more relaxing networking function, not an educational opportunity.
With SEO / SEM knowledge and professional networking available in here in Colorado, why travel to search marketing and ad industry conferences every weekend?

Congrats on your 1 year anniversary. I started a group in Baltimore - http://seo.meetup.com/75/ - around the same time you guys started.
We just had a great session last night - basically 2 hours where 25 people each took a few minutes each to introduce themselves (more than just the basics, but how you got into SEO, your specialities, etc.) and it was really great stuff. Might want to consider it for one of your next meetups. Here is a recap - http://leadgenseo.com/2008/09/24/baltimore-seo-meetup-last-night/

Congratulations on your successful meetup! Our meetup is very informal, but I think exploring topics like “How did you get into SEO?” is a great launching point for conversations. Thanks for sharing your experience.
