AltSearchEngines Day II

Hello Friends of Search!

We are pleased to announce the second annual AltSearchEngines Day conference on Monday, March 30th at San Francisco’s Intercontinental Hotel, from 9:00AM – 5:00 PM.

If you are in town for Web 2.0, this is a perfect complement to the week!

For those of you who may not have attended last year, this one-day, grassroots event brings together the best and brightest minds of the "alternative" search engines.  Practically every alternative to the big "G" will be represented, from Microsoft / Powerset to SurfCanyon to Yahoo BOSS  to key vertical search categories including Green Search, Health Search, Image Search, and Semantic Search, plus several special interim presentations.

This is a unique opportunity to meet some of the most influential innovators in Search face to face!
