The South is host to more than just grits, rebel flags, inbred fat couples, dogs tied to chains, and gothic short stories filled with drinking and murder…which is why I am so utterly thrilled to announce that we’ll be having our very own SphinnCon on May 2nd, in Greensboro, North Carolina, hosted by Link Fish Media’s Jay Young and Ayima’s Rob Kerry, also known as the editor of Sphinn AND, in some small small ciricles, known simply as Donkey. Sure, Greensboro is a fairly boring town (although we’ve just turned 200! and we have a nice chocolate shop) but with the arrival of the lovely and charming Evil Green Monkey, this town is going to be turned upside down.
So what can you expect from the Greensboro SphinnCon?
- Informal quick sessions presented on a variety of SEO topics
- A networking session with FREE BEER that goes on until the wee hours of the night
- The chance to have your photo taken with an SEO Chick and maybe meet my bloodhound
Many people have complained about the overcrowded nature of the current major conferences, so this is your chance to come out to a one-day event and actually have meaningful SEO conversations with other professionals. We’ll get started around 10 and keep going until someone gets arrested. Tickets are $150 and that includes free beer and free food (for carnivores and veggies). There’s a special conference hotel (see the SphinnCon link) and we’ll be doing a lovely pub crawl on Friday night. Several people are staying for the weekend so send me a message on Facebook or email if you’ll be around and are interested.

We’ll be streaking down the high street at 2am, I guarantee it!
PS. PPC, Social and Affiliate issues will also be covered.
We don’t have high streets in the South Donkey. Streaking though…most likely.
What if I don’t have a facebook account, but still wanna go bar hopping with you guys?
Paul!!! Well come bar hopping with us. God help the citizens of this city. Will you be at the event?
Sure, I’d love to go bar hopping with you guys. I’m about 70% sure I’ll be at the event, depending on how quickly the paperworks go through the company for the $150.
Julie: Appreciate the warm invitation.
Just outta curiousity, do I know you? How’d you know I was from Gboro?
Paul…I wasn’t sure if you were from here. I don’t think we know each other really other than you’re commenting on my post haha. Looking forward to meeting you though!
Yeah, I actually am local. Look forward meeting you guys.
Is SphinnCon being rescheduled? I Emailed them about registration info and they shot me back an Email:
“We’ve moved back the SphinnCon conference in order to give us more time to promote the event and ensure a healthy turn-out. Please stay tuned to Sphinn, where we’ll be announcing the new conference date with plenty of advanced notice. ”
Thanks,
–Paul.
Paul…yes, god help us, it has been rescheduled due to an amazing lack of local slackass people who can’t be bothered to show up at something they’ve been asking for for a long time. The event wasn’t promoted as well as it could have been, except locally, and it seems that local people don’t read Sphinn.
Boo.
That little frowny emoticon perfectly conveys how I feel about the entire thing.
