Here is some information from Danny Sullivan of Search Engine Watch regarding the spam all SESNY06 attendees seem to be getting. (this information was taken from Jeremy Zawodny’s blog)

Danny Sullivan said:

The SES shows in the US are not supposed to be giving out attendee names and email addresses. All that’s given out are titles and company names of attendees. That’s a long standing policy we’ve had. The Atlas situation Jeremy went through once before happened with email addresses that were believed deleted for a spreadsheet given to vendors were instead just hidden (and unhidden by anyone with just a little Excel savvy). That shouldn’t have happened then.As for the current case, if Jeremy wasn’t at that booth, this vendor shouldn’t have gotten the name from SES. The expo side isn’t something I oversee, but I’m having that group check on how they did get his name.It’s possible they ran down a list of all people speaking at the show to gather up names, then hunted down some email addresses. If that’s the case, it’s pretty impossible to control — but then again, they shouldn’t be saying that Jeremy was at the booth.

Anyway, I’m checking on it.

Good to know its being taken care of Danny to keep the integrity of the SES. Thanks Danny!
