Dave Taylor: He knows blogging better than anyone I know, networking, marketing, and general business.

Sounds like a great idea as long as they limit "classrooms" to 30 or less. The smaller the better obviously. Just would hate for this solid idea to turn into a another conference. Maybe this is a short step to an actual SEO College some are looking for.
