Chinese food, beer, talkshow, SEO to SEO, the China SEO party will launch a national tour after the Beijing event.

Although this is not a commercail organization. I believe this will be a teenage chinese version Search Engine Watch. Fans, SEO pros start from knowledge sharing, Q&A thread getting longer and longer. Topics ranged from anti-spam, SEO tips, marketing ideas, case study, search engine trends. I always like to idea of running a SEO fans forum. To read all the post and feed back everyday is a very helpful thing.

That’s always important to make people meet each face to face. So here comes the party. The party was initiated at Shenzhen, and extend to Guangzhou. Then will have a Beijing one at 16th.

Beijing party will be the largest one and more organized.

Here is the simple agenda:

The event will start at 13:00, a hostess will introduce all the guests to everyone, then the editing memebr D4 will give an wellcome opening speech together with a member at Singapore through internet video chat.

The first part of this event will be a speech session, there will be six speechs presented by six speakers.

The second part will be two round-table-discussions, topics are from SEO tips to SEO tools.

All session will be closed at around 17:30, then party time!!

Keep one thing in mind before you take off for this party, take at least 150 business cards with you or 150 pieces of papers with your name and contact information. A camera will be extra benefit for youself.
