We have recieved a few questions asking why we only held one major conference this year.

The answer is pretty simple - On December 17th last year, my wife and I were blessed with the arrival of our first daughter, Eleanor. Those first few weeks were a whirlwind of activity and change. Those days gave way to several months of sleep deprived haze. At that time I only kept up with a little email and was fortunate enough to be able to enjoy time with my family and cut a few months back to part time. I slowly started working a few more hours and by about mid April, I was back to full time. The conference programming alone takes three months to accomplish. There was no way we were going to be able to pull off a major conference in April or May this year.

At last years PubCon Las Vegas, WebmasterWorld Moderator John Coronella gave us several onesies with WebmasterWorld Logos on them.

We are working on conference plans for next year. We will be doing a major spring conference next year, a vertical conference midyear, and the big blowout in Vegas again next fall. Additionally, we will expand our PubCon Lite series (you'll hear more about that shortly) of day networking events (PubCon Classic).

At current, we are focused on the mega PubCon Vegas this year.
