GOOGLE, GOOGLE, GOOGLE. Everyday we have stories about the purported IPO. A reporter from a major paper in the USA called me yesterday to discuss Google and the future growth of search. One insight I had was the trajectory of Jupitermedia's Search Engine Strategy trade shows (three in the USA and editions in five other countries annually with more to come). I gave the example of our inaugural SES show slated for Toronto in two weeks. This show will be significantly profitable from the start - a rare accomplishment for first-time trade shows these days! We expect the same for the launch in Sweden and we had a profitable first show in Tokyo last week. SES is an amazing franchise and I am not aware of any other shows in the world today that have such a trajectory (other than perhaps the Pulver VoiP shows).
