There is no stopping the Jupitermedia SES trade shows.

The England version opened today at the Novotel West, London. The show has more than doubled from last year's show. We outgrew our facility from last year and have already outgrown our facility for the present show!

Many of you know I created Internet World in 1993 and ran it until late 1998. I never thought I would be associated with another powerful show with huge growth for several years. Fortunately SES is another trade show wonder.

A bit of history. SES started a few years ago with about 8 exhibitors and 120 paid seminar attendees. It now runs three times per annum in the USA (NYC, San Jose, Chicago). It also has run succesfully in Japan, Germany, England, and Canada, and will have an inaugural launch in October in Sweden.

Part of the success is due to the paid search tsunami. And part is due to our long-term association with editors Danny Sullivan and Chris Sherman. These stalwarts write the must-read searchenginewatch.com. All of these assets add up to powerful coverage of the search field (and do not forget our crack JupiterResearch coverage of online search.

While Jupitermedia dominates the search field editorially, I would suggest reading John Battelles's blog.

Jupitermedia is about to launch a chat and discussion site devoted to search. This will be under the supervision of Danny Sullivan. I will have more info on the launch -- only days away. Together with our searchenginewatch, our shows, our research and now this soon-to-be-thriving discussion community, Jupitermedia will keep everyone in the pink in the search arena.
