Xan Porter (who recently revealed that the correct pronouns to use when referring to her site are of the female gender), has a great review of Infornortics' Search Engine Meeting in Boston.

According to Xan, "The meeting draws those with a professional interest in search engines -- such as search engine designers and developers -- and those interested in applying search engines in their own professional environments. Search is at the heart of information retrieval; and the Search Engine Meeting provides an annual point of reference as to what is happening in this fast-moving and exciting field."

Now that the conference is finished, we'll hopefully be seeing more of Xan at SEW Forums and SEOChat - her contributions have certainly made for some great discussion over the past 3 months.
