As much as I’d like to attend some of these I don’t see my current employers putting down the cash for a ticket, which makes the idea of something popping up locally all that much more appealing.

The local scene for SEO events is rather sad unfortunately, there just doesn’t seem to be the following the places overseas have. Perhaps this will change, we can only hope!
