Welcome to the BlogHer Conference Newsletter.

This week...what else? More speaker updates, plus the BlogHers Act survey is ready, and finally a hint about the fabulous celebrity that one of our sponsors is bringing to the conference.

Update #1: The speaker list keeps growing

[img_assist|fid=3908|thumb=1|alt=BlogHer '07 Button - Conference Theme 150x150] Have you checked out the schedules for Day One and Day Two of the conference lately?

There are more amazing speakers to announce, and this week we'll tell you about two.

You are hearing it here first: Elizabeth Edwards is joining our Day Two closing keynote to discuss how blogging and social media has changed her life in and out of politics...and the potential she sees for it to change women's lives as she travels across our country and around the world.

You're hearing this here first too: Humorist, actress and animated princess Amy Sedaris is joining our The Art of Crafts session, joining Natalie Zee Dieu who interviewed Amy for Craft 'Zine about Amy's online craft contest. [Edited because I mixed that story up completely.]

Find the full schedule for Day One, Friday July 27th, here. Find the full schedule for Day Two, Saturday July 28th, here

And you can go register here.

Update #2: The BlogHers Act polls are open!

Since we announced BlogHers Act three weeks ago there have been hundreds of suggestions by blog post and comment. The BlogHer community has a lot to say about a lot of topics. Time to take the next step and narrow down to the one hot issue we will focus on for the next year. Take this survey and let your voice be heard. The global initiative with the most votes will be announced at BlogHer 07 in Chicago on Friday, July 27th

Update #3: A little hint...

Sometimes we like to throw you a little hint, so here's another one. One of our sponsors is going to bring a celebrity to participate in an activity at the conference. This celebrity is a past winner of a TV competition that Elisa is just craaaazy about. So, as you can imagine, Elisa is all a-flutter about it. Email Elisa with your guess. First person who gets it right gets an extra drink ticket :)

You can always keep track of where BlogHer is presenting content in our Press Center. And, you can also keep up with the latest conference news via the BlogHer Conferences Blog.
