Search is not going anywhere but continues to grow. However, the Search Engine Strategies conference may have reached its peak especially in its current format. Go to one and you have seen them all. It is a brillant networking event for professionals in the industry but it needs a serious re-vamp to attract major media buyers and players.

Heh, I wouldn't think so, John, since you guys are milking this particular cash cow until she drops.

The difference is that Meckler sees the maturity/saturation in search industry trade shows –NOT search itself.

The world wide image business is dominated by two large companies. One controlled by the Getty family, and one owned by Bill Gates. However the majority of the business is still done by mom and pop operations desperately looking to sell out to, or make alliances with, a well financed third player such as Meckler.
