December 13 - December 16, Chicago will host the Search Engine Strategies Conference and Expo 2004. Although this one will probably be very much like the ones in the past, I think the timing might end up being somewhat significant. If, as some predict, Google does a major algo shift before Christmas, then the conference might be just the place to be to get the tidbit of info that might be necessary to counteract any sudden drops in rankings that might occur.
