  6. I will wait until SMX-Idaho “When Local goes Local” We might have to use the city hall building. I don’t know if there is a convention center big enough. But, free cow tipping as a meet and greet activity.

  9. @Mike, David,
    I’ll definitely will do all I can to be there! Does any of you going to speak or mentioned the thrilling year Google Maps had with the Locksmiths?

  10. @MikeRamsey – do you know Ed Reese, http://www.sixthmanmarketing.com? He is trying to put something together in Spokane…which I realize is not in Idaho but might be close enough… :D

  11. @David

    Thanks for the information. I will have to get in touch with him. And Spokane is like walking distance from the Idaho border. I tried it once on roller blades but only got about a mile before I gave up.

  12. @PureSheer

    I don’t think so…

  13. I should go to meet such a who’s who of local seo studs. Wouldn’t it be neat if a public airing of a “hall of shame” were referenced? :D

  14. @Earlpearl

    I don’t know about Andrew or Will but I will be on my best behavior. As we know, David is always on his best so you have little hope. :)

  15. @Mike,

    No Locksmith affairs will be mentioned?.. :-(
    Google Maps’ reactions to what has happened with the locksmiths this year are the most drastic ones since Google Maps came to life!
    I think it can spice up one’s presentation ;-)

  16. Do you recommend SMX East over SMX West for local, or both similar quality?
