IMSB 2009 Wrapup: What Really Went Down In South Florida

IMSB 2009 Wrapup: What Really Went Down In South Florida

IM Spring Break, brought to you by IM Broadcast, kicked off with a bang on April 2nd in sunny Deerfield Beach, Florida. The conference, hosted by Dave Snyder, Loren Baker, and Jordan Kasteler, brought internet marketers from around the world together to discuss search optimization, social media, and affiliate marketing.  If you happened to miss out on the experience, below are some great videos, photos, podcasts, and posts that cover what went down in Florida.

Take a look at the IM Spring Break Facebook Page for some amazing photos. Rafael Montilla did a great job taking photos; check out his Facebook photo albums (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6), also take a look at his #IMSB slide shows on Youtube (1, 2). David Szetela (yes the guitarist of the “Bacon Explosion” Band) also has a great collection of photos on Picasa. As usual we were able to count on Dana Lookadoo to take a photo of every single person at the event, check out her Flickr Album. Alex Rios of SEO Sumo also took some spectacular photos that can be seen through their Flickr album.

So you’ve looked through the photos and you’re really starting to wish you were there. Let us rub it in a little more with a few interviews from Tony Adams, Neil Patel, Joe Hall, Michael Dorausch, and, Jon Henshaw. Here is a little sample of what you missed out on, check out ITs VS SEOs with Loren, Carolyn, Will, and Rhea.

Our great friends at Webmaster Radio, including the legendary Brasco, came out and spent some time with the IM Spring Breakers. They have a great three part series with interviews with some of the greatest minds in the industry; check them out (1, 2, 3). Also check out Steve Plunkett & Chris Winfield’s interview, as they give us an inside look into IMSB.

Still wondering what you missed out on? Well you’re in luck my friend. Some of our great attendees have written in-depth summaries about what they learned at IM Spring. Shana Albert (TheNanny612, no she’s not british) provided us with great coverage of Chris Winfield’s opening keynote, creating content for social media, leveraging social news and bookmarking, building a brand through social media, insights on IM business sessions, and most importantly 23 Reasons You Should have attended IM Spring Break.

Erin Zerbe showed us how social media can help your business and the importance of “sticky” content creation for social media. SEO Sumo not only made the Sushi, they also provided a great IMSB wrapup. Even John Henshaw of Raven SEO Tools learned something at IM Spring Break. Our own Janna Baker showed us how healthy you can eat, even at a conference.

Speaking of food, SEO Sumo & Todd Malicoat were the geniuses that sponsored and made fresh Sushi on the last night of IMSB. Don’t forget the homemade Chocolate Chip cookies that Alysson Fergison (SEOAly) brought for everyone to enjoy at the conference.  Thanks to Aaron Chronister (TheMadHat) for attempting to teach the staff of the Deerfield Beach Hilton how to make a perfect Bacon Explosion.

And don’t forget about the IM Road Trip crew, Pamela Lund (That Pam Chick) & CK Chung (Kid Disco), who road tripped from San Diego, California to Deerfield Beach, Florida.  You can follow their progress on SEO Disco and through their #IMRoadTrip twitter stream.

As Brent Csutoras said ” IM Spring Break Was Simply Amazing
