Our Chicago Search Engine Strategies trade show opens on Monday. A few thousand professionals will converge on the McCormick Convention Center and this has sparked a flurry of announcements from a variety of companies that are exhibiting at SES.

One of our staff writers has written an excellent piece about some of this news. And I am sure more developments will be released during the show next week.

The success of our SES shows has sparked more expansion. We are a few days away from formally announcing yet another SES show --- India in March 2006. India will join with already established or new shows in Canada, England, Japan, China and Sweden.
