What is the best SEO Seminar/Training option in the US?

[dkamen]

I have 3 years of SEO experience and am an SEO Manager. I am well versed, though much room for growth and education.  I want to find an SEO Seminar or training program that best suits my needs.  It seems most are a one size fits all seminars.  Any recommendations, thoughts or ideas?

MarketMotive is the best I've done in terms of not being so targeted at beginners. Plus if you do a Master course, you get to do there other courses at practitioner level (if you do them quickly enough)... meaning some great other learning i.e. Web Analytics by Avinash.

Well SEOMoz is having their MozCon in Seattle in July. That's a good start for you

Also, there are the Pro Training DVDs which teach advanced tactics. They're pretty reasonably priced, however I'm not sure how up to date they are. You may want to call SEOMoz to find out.

You may also want to check out the Distilled guys for their events and training. I hear really good things.

I'm kind of in the same boat you are. I've really been digging deep into the SEOMoz blog lately, have been attending every webinar, have been trudging through the Q&A, have been reading Danny Dover's SEO Secrets, etc.

The best way I've found so far to become more educated about SEO is just to stay involved in this community and keep busy in the trenches. When I do more managing than actual SEO'ing I find myself getting behind sometimes.

Hope this helps!

I can't see how you could beat MozCon.  While I am not in the business of SEO, I asked my wife if I could go to Mozcon for my birthday gift.  She laughed and said I have serious problems, but it would be a kick to listen to an meet the people who are so far ahead of the curve.
