BlogHer '08 Green and Social Change Birds of a Feather Meetup
by Britt Bravo

This morning at the BlogHer Conference, about 40 "green" and "social change" bloggers, organizations and companies got together for a Birds of a Feather Meetup. I asked folks to give me their cards so I could share who attended with you. Give 'em a click and find out about the work they do (Is anyone except me surprised by how many companies attended?).

Thank you!

I just logged in hoping to find this very thing....I'm in the midst of reading about sessions that I wasn't able to attend and walla, you've created the very list I was hopin for.

I would also be interested in how you facilitated the session. I'm interested in learning why n4ps organized themselves as such...how do you decide when to go ahead and create one vs when to align your efforts with an existing org....and what are folks turning to so as to not reinvent the wheel (ie fundraising, promoting their mission / purpose? are they blogging to do this or contributing to others' blogs?  Maybe this can become a track next year. Thanks for having this b.o.f. Britt....hope to run into you again throughout the conference :)  Tre ~ http://thoughtbythought.wordpress.com

 

Pleasure to meet you

I wanted to take a minute to say how helpful your "meet-up" was. I met so many wonderful women and for me it was a unique opportunity to meet like minded and very smart women. I'm relatively new to the blog arena and this was my first BlogHer - but not my last! Thanks to all involved in making it such a successful event. (For some reason I didn't make it on the list above - but thank you for publsihing that!)

What is your blog URL

Mary -

Sorry it has taken me so long to respond to your comment.  I was on vacation. Please post the name and URL of your blog.  I don't know why it didn't show up on the list, but I'm happy to add it.

Tre - 

It was nice to see you again at BlogHer.  You asked about how the group was facilitated.  I did a few rounds of raising hands to see who was in the room (i.e. how many people are from the West, Southwest, Northeast, Southeast, Northwest, etc.) and then we did 4 or 5 rounds of people introducing themselves to a new person for five minutes.
