iEntry Inc's Mike McDonald is heading to Bean Town for next week's PubCon, put on by WebMasterWorld. And just for you, our loyal readership, he will exercise the restraint of an ascetic monk, depriving himself of Boston's basketball heritage just long enough to relay the latest developments in web marketing and e-commerce.

The WebProNews Adventures At Pubcon
He's a rock, that Mike McDonald.

The conference will be kicked off with a keynote address by best-selling author Malcolm Gladwell. Gladwell is known for the web-marketing book 'The Tipping Point: How Little Things Can Make A Big Difference,' and 'Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking.' Gladwell is also a writer with 'The New Yorker' magazine.

Scheduled for conference sessions are Google software engineer Matt Cutts, Google AdSense business product manager Shuman Ghosemajumder, MSN Search's Ramez Naam, Microsoft "Technical Evangelist" Robert Scoble, and Yahoo! front man Jeremy Zawodny.

Set to begin on Tuesday, Mike will be covering the sessions most relevant to WebProNews readers and WebProWorld and SyndicationPro forum members.

Look for him on the train, as he is still a bit skittish after a near-death experience with New York cab drivers during February's Search Engine Strategies Conference.
