BlogHer BOSTON '08 will be taking place on Saturday, October 11, at the Boston Marriott Burlington. It will feature many of the same elements of our annual event, along with a little local flavor.

As you may have heard, we are taking the BlogHer Annual Event on the road!

Following BlogHer Business in April and BlogHer '08 in July, we will be bringing six, one-day conferences to cities along the East Coast.

Each conference will include a full day of programming and conclude with a cocktail reception. And while the agenda will be similar from city to city, each event will be unique in its mix of content, speakers and attendees (so you can feel free to join us at as many different locations as you want!).

When the first BlogHer conference was launched in 2005 we introduced something called a BlogHership. And we still list BlogHerships as one of the ways everyone can participate in BlogHer events.

But what is it, and how do you get one?

The inquiries are already pouring in, so I thought it was well past time for me to spell it out.

It gives me great pride and pleasure to announce that our new BlogHer Conferences section of the site is now open for business. Not only that, but registration is also open for both BlogHer Business this April 3/4 in New York and BlogHer '08 this July 18-20 in San Francisco.

I'd like to particularly thank BlogHer's Community Manager Denise Tanton, BlogHer's Events & Marketing Manager Kristy Sammis, and BlogHer's Marketing Programs Coordinator Joy Johnson for working their butts off to make all of the above happen.

Today we are proud to announce our entire 2008 schedule of events, centered around one unifying theme: Reach!

BlogHer in 2008 will include a second annual BlogHer Business, the fourth annual BlogHer Conference and the introduction of a brand new BlogHer event: The BlogHer Reach Out Tour. The BlogHer Reach Out Tour will stop at 6 cities on the East Coast and across the South. Yup, we're growing from 2 events in 2007 to 8 events in 2008!

We reviewed the survey, compiled the poll results, read your blog posts and comments, and we are ready to unveil our BlogHer in 2008 plans...this coming Thursday, September 27th at 9AM Pacific time.

And we'd like to do it live and "in person" on a community conference call. We'll take about 15 minutes to outline our entire schedule for 2008, and then we'll have time for Q&A as well. As soon as the call is over we'll push the info live in a blog post and press release too, so don't worry if you can't make it. You won't have to wait too long for the info.
