SemCon 2009

This blog has barely been updated because I’ve been engaging in micro-blogging or the popular application known as Twitter. You can follow me there and hear me express my mind in 140 characters or less but this post is about something else.

This post is about SemCon 2009 or more specifically the contest to win free tickets to it. SemCon 2009 is the Search Engine Marketing Conference and will take place during Oct 1 &2. The official website of SemCon 2009 offers more juicy details about what the conference will be about with topics like SEO ranking factors and Twisted Twitter Tactics.

Now, why do I want to attend SemCon 2009? Reinvention. I’m a project manager for IT systems. I am however very interested in SEO and Social Media Marketing. The first few people that I followed in Twitter aside from my friends were Mashable, Guy Kawasaki and Dan Schwabel. We are entering a new era in communications. People are broadcasting their entire lives on the Internet and we are bombarded with information. Social networking is everywhere where even my 63 year old mother has a Facebook account.

My belief is that in order to deliver a great product, you need to understand it. I always wanted to look at everything from 360 degrees. There are so many opportunities for social media and search engine marketing for Philippine companies to take advantage of. However, things are moving so fast that new trends and techniques are created every day.  I want to attend SemCon 2009 and get up to date information on the latest practices for SEO. I also have a love of Twitter and would like to see how I can translate that love into an integral part of a Social Media strategy.

I sincerely hope that I can win the free tickets to attend SemCon 2009 so that I can reinvent myself and expand my repertoire as a project manager. Choose me. Pick me!
