Danny Sullivan has announced his plans for 2007 over at his blog. The big news is that he has reached an agreement with Incisive to chair SES NY 2007 and co-chair SES SJ 2007. This is interesting considering Dannys last update on his seemingly faltering relationship with Incisive.

However this seems to have turned around with Danny adding “Credit to Incisive, they diligently kept exploring different possibilities until we reached on that worked for both sides”.

The full press release is below -

Incisive Media and Danny Sullivan announce today that both parties have signed an agreement to continue to work together to produce the market-leading Search Engine Strategies series of conferences and exhibitions.

The SES event series was founded by Danny Sullivan and Jupitermedia in 1999 and became rapidly established as the leading worldwide forum for marketers, agencies and webmasters to learn about the latest developments in search engine optimization and marketing. Since Incisive Media’s purchase of Search Engine Watch, the ClickZ Network and SES in August 2005 the events have continued their expansion with double digit growth in attendance at the major US locations and the successful launch of several conferences – both in new geographies (including China) and vertical and local search sectors.

In August this year Danny Sullivan, who has always been independent contractor, announced his intention to step away from an active involvement in SES at the end of 2006. Since this point both parties have remained in contact and today announce that an agreement has been reached to extend this relationship through 2007.

Speaking about the news today Danny Sullivan said “I very much look forward to working with Incisive Media on the SES events next year. The search industry loves gathering together at them, and I glad to continue as a part of that.”

Tim Weller, founder and CEO of Incisive Media stated “Search is a dynamic growing global industry. We have the market leading brands, excellent content, and a rapidly growing community in the search market. We wanted Danny to be involved going forwards, so I’m delighted that he will continue to do so”.

Incisive Media will make further major announcements about our plans for expansion of activities in the search marketing space at the Search Engine Strategies Chicago event, December 4-7 2006.

Danny also mentions a couple of other things in the pipeline for 2007 “…I also intend to continue writing about search via a new search blog of my own plus do some events on my own.”

How about Search Engine Watch? “No change there. November 30 remains my last day.”
