Much like how I shared The Best Things I Overheard at SES Chicago, I thought I’d enlighten the readers with the best, funniest, most outrageous, or downright random things said and heard at SES London:
“What dialect did he speak?”–Rand, asking about an unintelligible Brit that Scott and I had met at the bar the night before
“I don’t know, mud?”–Scott“Dave Naylor is like an idiot savant! He’s an obnoxious drunk in the evenings, but when he’s on a panel he’s a genius!”–me

Here’s a tip for first timers at an SMX conference like myself, don’t rush out of the bathroom without drying your hands and then say hi to Danny Sullivan for the first time trying to explain that the moisture on your hands is water and not some other liquid.
My coverage is not the live blogging variety which the most excellent Tamar Weinberg and Lisa Barone serve up. I hadn’t been online since travelling to London as the internet access did not work in my room and I am sure that my mouse hand is suffering muscle wastage.

London’s been a bit of whirlwind for all of the mozzers. My first two nights here featured the same thrilling insomnia that characterized my last visit to London - remember these? Luckily, at this point, I’m well rested and able to cognitively process most of the information I’m taking in.
There’s no doubt that after a dozen SES conferences over the past 3 years, there’s a bit of diminishing returns. Certainly, there’s a lack of motivation to attend as many seminars as I should, particularly since I’ve seen many of them several times and this combines with the increase in online coverage of the industry and the sheer number of events to make for a less discovery-intensive journey. However, for first timers, or even second timers, my feeling is that the value here has increased since last year. There’s a higher concentration of people, and the conference is less spread out. There’s also a confluence of a lot of great minds - yesterday’s organic listings forum (of which I was the white-hat of the bunch) brought a lot of terrific questions, both high level and basic.

In order to please the masses, Rand once again chained me to my desk and ordered me to do a recap of SES London in an amusing comic book fashion. Thanks to Jeff and his spiffy MacBook (ComicLife yo!), this time I was able to create this batch of comics much easier than SES Chicago’s Flash-tastrophe. Thanks, Jeff!
Anyway, I hereby present to you SES London: The Comic Strip. Special thanks to Liana Evans, Alex Bennert, and Becky Ryan for contributing some photos. Also, thanks to Scott for his wonderful artistic skills–he really captured the essence of Allan choking on his dinner. By the way, this strip is a bit bigger than Chicago’s (after all, Europe is slightly more photogenic than sub-zero Chi-Town), so hopefully your comps won’t get bogged down.

I’m sick as a dog, but the people must have their blogs, and so I bring you tidbits - good ones, though.
My presentation on Analytics was great fun (download the PPT here). I fought a bit with Brian Clifton from Google Analytics - do they really have action tracking? Last time I looked (a few months back), their segmentation tools were virtually non-existent. He’s a bit of a combatitive guy (damn smart, too), but it made the session incredibly engaging. I think the SES crowd loves a good conflict.
