SEO Conferences - Which One(s) do you Attend ?

[NakulGoyal]

I have been in SEO since over 10 years now. And have been attending Pubcon since 2004 in Las Vegas. I think I have only missed 1.

This year, I have been thinking of which conferences to attend and here are the options. I am looking for 1st hand experiences from people who have attended multiple conferences to kinda do a comparison.

Here are the upcoming conferences by date. I am only listing the US Conferences.

• SES New York March 19-23* BlueGlass Los Angeles April 23-24* SMX Advanced Seattle Jun. 5-6* MozCon July 25 - July 27* SES San Francisco August 13-17* SMX New York | Oct. 2-4, 2012* Pubcon Las Vegas October 16 - 19* SES Chicago November 12-16* SMX Social Media Marketing Las Vegas | Dec. 5-6

  Please let me know what conferences you have attended in the past and which ones of these people here are planning to attend ?

Moz con is a must in my eyes, I have watched the videos from it and they are all killer.

Price is also great for what you get as your are a pro member - http://www.seomoz.org/blog/announcing-mozcon-2012

BlueGlass is also good, similar to the MOZcon in my eyes.

SMX  are good conference's too and also SES is worth it in my eyes.

I'll be attending the SMX in Sydney in a month. Would be good to hear any feedback on this? If I were to attend one event in the US (all the way from Austrslia) what would you recommend?

I will be going to Pubcon and Mozcon.

I went to SMX Seattle and IMC last year - would suggest SMX as long as you go for the main event and select the 'right' workshops.
