Whew! The Spring conference season is in full swing, and the mozzers are coming soon to a city near you. You'll find us anywhere from Charlotte, NC to Munich to Singapore in the next couple months. The coolest part is that we're attending and speaking at some conferences for the very first time. It feels good to get out and stretch a bit! Plus, the developer in us will be attending conferences like Chirp and CCGrid 2010 which will both enhance our geek factor!
As always, if you're attending any of these events, please say hello! We may never get to know you if you don't wave, nudge, or kick us. Ok, you really shouldn't kick Joanna, she'd probably pull a ninja move on you. Included in the list below are both SEOmoz employees as well as associates. Come... take a peek and join us!
