I admit it -- I am a SBI-aholic.
I am also the SBI-Conference Groupie! Yes, I am!
I have attended four conferences in the past year (Orlando, San Diego, Bootcamp Training, Cincinnati). Dallas -- Here I come (and speaking for the second time.. yikes!)
Enough about me... the conferences are fantastic, in my humble opinion. I loved reading the conference articles posted here already as I know these folks! Love it!
SBIers are like your brother or sister and you feel comfortable with them immediately -- they "get it" where your family and friends often don't. They understand why you are so geeked to get $1 earnings in Adsense that day, they love talking the SBI talk, and it feels sooo good to finally share all that with others who love it too!
I have grown so much in my web-life via the conferences. I learn something from every speaker and come home with pages in my To Do List. However, I learn just as much from networking with the other attendees. You know how helpful folks are in the forums -- just imagine meeting them! I have SBI friends worldwide now (May in Scotland, Honor in Japan, Heidi in Bahrain, and on and on) as well as SBIers from the U.S. (way too many to mention and everyone so unique and full of ideas, and so darn helpful).
It's also very cool to have met some of the Sitesell Biggies: Daniel Kornitzer (SBI CEO), Don Coggan, Debs, Jim, Natasha, Rick, and Kelly (Action Guide voice) to name a few.
Finally, if you have the chance to attend a conference, Do yourself a huge favor and DO IT!
You won't believe the information and ideas you come home with. You will have folks who understand and will support you after the conference. You will meet the more sharing and caring folks you've ever ever met.. I promise!
