Here are picture sets and video sets I found of the event: From SMO.co.il at Flickr, from YOS at Flickr, from RustyBrick at Flickr, from YBO on YouTube and Google Israel on on YouTube.

I would also like to thank all the sponsors, including CompuCall, K-Logic, Play65.com, and eToro. The volunteers who spent endless hours preparing for this event deserve a mention: Michael Barnett, Eli Feldblum, and Mayer Reich of Rank Above, Roi Hildesheimer and Branko Rihtman Tens Technology, and Gilad Sasson of Nekuda.co.il. Thank you Google for sending some reps and a last minute video from the Hebrew Google Webmaster Central rep. Thank you Jerusalem College of Technology for the venue. Thank you all for attending, and thank you to Danny Sullivan and Third Door Media for making this all possible!

Postscript From Danny: Congrats to Barry for pulling together a successful launch for the SphinnCon series, and my thanks to all those who made it. We’re looking forward to seeing it likely grow into an more formal SMX Israel event for next year. As for SphinnCon, our next event will probably happen in May in North Carolina. More info about that here: SphinnCon North Carolina.

Postscript From Barry: The three presentations are now available for download at the SphinnCon Israel web page.
