BlogHer '10

Join us in August for BlogHer's 6th Annual Conference!

Building on the momentum of five consecutive sold-out annual conferences, BlogHer '10 will bring bloggers from every corner of the blogosphere together for hands-on learning, rich discussions, opportunities to meet with the brands that support them and plentiful networking opportunities. BlogHer ’10 will take place on August 6 & 7, bringing over one thousand attendees together to celebrate 2010.”

One of the number one reasons we all attend BlogHer every year, whether coming for the first time or as an old-timer, is to meet our online community. So after five years we think it's a great time to celebrate the fact that our blogging, whether personal, professional or political, has brought us work, friends, satisfaction and is most definitely a significant part of our real life!

BlogHer '10 will take place at The Hilton New York. We will kick off on Thursday, August 5 with our 4th annual BlogHer Business Conference, and will continue with the two-day 6th annual BlogHer Annual Conference on Friday and Saturday, August 6 & 7.

Check back often as we update our agenda, speakers, and sponsors pages.

I'm the one who squees and hugs in the hotel lobby when I recognize you when you walk in. That's me. I"m frantic and frazzled trying to make sure stuff is taken care of so you have a great time, but it really comes down to that moment when we finally touch. I can't do that this year. This evil illness that has taken many of my organs and is scheduled to take more won't allow the travel or the marathon of information and hug-fest that is BlogHer '10. Read more

When planning the first BlogHer conference back in mid-2005, we knew we wanted our session format to be a bit different than the conference norms at the time. Interactive. Engaging. Participatory. Practical. And no shilling (aka commercials or stump speeches masquerading as usable content and actionable information).We enlisted the help of a volunteer to draft our initial Speaker Guidelines and then worked with a volunteer committee to fine tune them.

We're calling it: "Creating (or Massively Altering) a WordPress Theme." The workshop is intended for Intermediate to Advanced levels. Read more
