“It’s been quite a weekend, by any measure of meaningfulness. [...] So, what am I going to do with this information? I’m going to concentrate on my readers more and stop trying to drive traffic as a primary goal. If I take care of them, they will take care of the rest.” - Jesse Petersen
“People, if you’re not here, you are missing out big. I’m so, so serious about this. SOBCon is one of the least expensive and most valuable conferences I have attended to date.” - Kristen King

Hi Chris,
Conferences and workshops are happening all over the country — possibly in your own town. I’m sure you can find one that suits your needs. Attendees are welcome. Fees vary as do the levels of expertise and subject matter.
