Today marks the first day of PubCon Las Vegas 2006, and the event promises to help attendees "get the edge." The conference will run through Friday, and speakers will offer their insights on topics ranging from specific things like search and net marketing to "general webmastery."

WebProNews will have its own representatives there - Mike McDonald and Chris Richardson, along with the WebProNews video team, plan to cover (and participate in) the festivities. Mike and Chris may well end up rubbing elbows with keynote speakers Danny Sullivan, John Battelle, and Jon S. von Tetzchner.



Brett Tabke, the CEO of WebMasterWorld, should also be present - he founded that forum, as well as PubCon. Tabke spoke to WebProNews contributor Lee Odden, and commented on the positive effects of the event. It's nice to see it "serve the community," he said, and good to watch "these people that have little in common culturally work past the differences and do good business and build friendships in the process."



According to the PubCon site, this year's conference will continue to spread goodwill and good business practices. Amidst proclamations of "Everyone Loves Vegas Baby!" it says that the "conference is jam packed with leading-edge sessions and one-of-a-kind presentations.



Looking at the current speaker list (which includes about 122 names), that's easy to believe. Andy Beal, who's on that list, spoke to WebProNews writer David Utter just the other day. PubCon has some prominent "Gold Signature Sponsors," as well, including Yahoo, Google, Opera, Ask, and Text Link Ads; Microsoft was noticeably absent.



PubCon Las Vegas 2006 looks like it will be an extremely successful event - "full of energy and excitement" - and we'll bring you updates as they occur.
