Search Engine Land Representing In Israel at SphinnCon

Yesterday two of your Search Engine Land writers were in Jerusalem, Israel. Vanessa and I were holding a SphinnCon event, basically a small Search Marketing Expo event, for the Israeli SEM community.

The event was given a home by the Jerusalem College of Technology for 6 hours while 30+ speakers from both in Israel and around the world came to speak to about 200+ attendees. In fact, it could have been close to 400 attendees, but we had to close registration once we hit 230 people.

Vanessa Fox flew directly from SMX West, while I skipped out on West mostly because of my nephew’s bar mitzvah. It was great to see so many familiar faces in Israel and such a vibrant SEM industry in the country.

Make sure to check out the full recap of SphinnCon Israel 2010 and feel free to join the Sphinn discussion.

Yes, that is the best picture I could find of myself and Vanessa at the event. Vanessa was extremely under the weather and now she is off to Amman, Jordan to speak again.
