Happy to attend in Denver and would be willing to live blog with photos or at least write each event.

Local and mobile is where our world is going. Would love to attend!

Count me in on this contest! I just priced a plane ticket and it is definitely affordable. Now all I need is the pass and I can attend my FIRST big conference outside of Dallas.

I will have a laptop on hand and would love to summarize the sessions for the hungry Pilgrims

Hi Andy,

First, I would like to thank you for the opportunity to compete in the past two Scholarship programs. While I did not win either competition, my most recent article “Dominating the Long Tail of Local Search with Databases” was found by someone who was reading all of the articles on your site (he said they were all great articles), and that person has turned into a sizable project for our company.

**I promise to write a summary of the events if selected**

I can be counted on to attend the sessions and sit in the front row. As evidence, here is my elbow in a photo of some notorious young SEO’s (the point I wish to communicate is that I am in the front row and trying to absorb as much as possible): http://www.shoemoney.com/gallery/v/ChicagoSES2006/seschicago2006+316.j pg.html

You can also see my well-annotated notebooks from the Local Search Sessions of SES Chicago 2005 & 2006 here:

I have attended SES Chicago 2005 & 2006 where I attended the Local Search sessions both years. I have also attended the most recent SEW Columbus. Furthermore, our company plans to send two representatives to PubCon (I’ll be at the Local Search Sessions there, too), so I can hope to happily greet you there after doing a stellar reporting job on the conference.

I pitched to speak at SMX Local, though I appear to have been passed over. I have a lot of expertise in the space, and we even have some unique and comprehensive techniques ( most are mentioned in the article ) for local search engine optimization and marketing.

I also can’t afford a ticket aside from this opportunity, so it would be greaty appreciated. Travel costs are no problem, though. I currently travel that far by car every 5 weeks to Georgia and back to Michigan, so I’m used to it.

In summary, I very much hope that I will be selected to report on the conference.

Thanks!
