BlogHer '09: We listened. We mulled. And here are some of the decisions you've helped us make

Almost six weeks ago Lisa, Jory and I asked for your feedback and help on making BlogHer '10 even better than BlogHer '09 in a post we called: We're listening. And here's what we're mulling over so far...

AskPatty Attends (and Survives) BlogHer09

AskPatty attended the BlogHer09 conference last week and we're so excited to share our experience. Even though we have worked together for more than two years, this was my first chance to spend some real quality time with my editor Brandy Schaffels.

Women of Color and Marketing: The room, the session and when will the conversation end

Whenever I write something and put my thoughts out there I feel pretty done with it. Like that thing that was taking up all of this valuable space in my brain is now out and I no longer think of it. Such as it was with a post from two years ago; a brief recap of the events that occurred during the State of the Momosphere session during BlogHer 2007.

BlogHer '09: We're listening. And here's what we're mulling over so far...

It's Day Three post-BlogHer '09, and we are in our full-on, annual Listen-Real-Hard mode here at BlogHer. Since Lisa Stone, Jory Des Jardins and I first plunked down our credit cards to reserve a space for the BlogHer 2005, we have asked for everyone's help to make it happen. To make it better. To make it a celebration of women who blog.

Hey there, Alanna here, just back from the insanity, no make that intensity that is BlogHer the conference. Which food bloggers were there? Here's the list plus an easy summer recipe from each. BlogHer readers? I've got to tell you, this is a great group of cooks but more than that, now that I've met so many new food bloggers face-to-face, and re-acquainted myself with others I've known for a long while, a special group of human beings too. Food bloggers? Tis a pleasure, tis an honor, to know you. I'm proud to be in your company.

From OSCON to BlogHer!

This week I bounced from a technical conference in San Jose, all the way to BlogHer in Chicago, and I'd like to highlight some of the great talks and the women I met at both conferences!

by Susan Wagner at 4:41pm Mon, 27 Jul 2009 under Tim Gunn, Fashion, BlogHer Conference 2009
This past weekend, style guru Tim Gunn made an appearance at BlogHer. He spent two hours meeting and greeting conference participants, signing autographs and posing for photos. Gunn, who is most famous as the co-host of "Project Runway," is also the chief creative office at Liz Claiborne (he's the one who lured Isaac Mizrahi away from Target, which is truly the best thing to ever happen to Liz Claiborne).

While the sessions are informative and there's always something to do, I attend BlogHer conferences for the people. And what people they are! I know that when I go, I will be inspired by the women -- by who they are and what they do -- and they never fail me.
