How does one go about getting a sponsor for BlogHer '10? Any tips?

THANK YOU!

Thank you. I'm getting ready to round up a sponsor for my 1st conference for 2010!

Attendance

There were 1400 attendees at the regular conference and 125 attended LobbyCon. I'd say attendance was about 90 women.

Are there stats to how many women attended the BlogHer 09 conference? I'd love to know a rough #!

Woo-hoo!

The best part about watching the recorded keynotes from home is that I won't have to remove the hotel ballroom tablecloth like a magician, stacking laptops, water glasses and piles of business cards on top of each other, in order to free a few feet of cloth to cry into...

Congratulations to BlogHer, Eden and all of the Keynoters on an exceptional session.

Excellent post. I'm leaving my babies (well, they aren't really babies, but my 2.5 yr old is still nursing) for the first time for BlogHer and am definitely feeling mixed emotions about it. Thanks for the reassurance that it's OK to leave sessions, parties, to get sleep. Naptime, here I come! :)

That's why I'm committing myself to writing bout one a week til 3/24/09, Ada Lovelace Day :)

Thinking about a woman who tech'd in the early 1800s has really opened up my thoughts to thinking about all the elements that go into shaping all of our tech lives...like all the teachers who ever taught me to read, write, edit; all the influences who have instilled courage, willingness to perservere; all the people who back me/nudged me to choose the road less traveled...so many.

It's gonna be fun to see all the contributions that day. Maybe others will join me and write about women they've been influenced by right on up til then.

Eager to read your post! Be sure to link it to BlogHer. :)

Another idea

LawyerMama — Mon, 08 Dec 2008 20:24:27 -0600

I haven't read all the comments here yet, so maybe this has been visited already.

In the political track, what about something discussing the jump from political blogging to political activism. I'm a member of a grassroots organization - Blue Star Families for Obama - made up of military family members that were supporting Obama for president. I'm the Outreach Director for the national board. Through developing new media and blogging for BSF4O (and my involvement in MOMocrats) I became involved in several local and national political campaigns off line as well as online.

I haven't thought it through entirely, but there's just a nugget of an idea in the back of my brain right now!

Photography and/or Using your blog to supplement your business

LawyerMama — Mon, 08 Dec 2008 20:20:45 -0600

I loved the lone photography session last year and noticed that it was PACKED! Sounds like something to visit in more depth. I'm always amazed to discover how many bloggers are also either professional or amateur photographers. A general photography session like last years would be great again. But it might be nice to have something more advanced. Not sure if that's getting a bit too specific for BlogHer though.

I know that personally, I use my blog - and an offshoot photography blog - to promote my professional photography business. So how about something more general: Using your blog or creating a blog to market your business. This may be something that's visited alread in the Business of You track or in BlogHer business, but it interests me.

So sorry my comment is late. I think my updated are going to an email address from my old office!

Sorry I'm late! I missed this post with all of my holiday preparations.

I've been blogging for about four years now and during that time I've discovered the power of a good picture in a post. As a result, I have a completely new approach to taking pictures. Other bloggers have taught me a lot, but I would love to learn even more!

By day I'm a teacher, so I'd be more than happy to pass on the things I've learned from blogging. I have no fear of public speaking :O) Thanks for calling for ideas. BlogHer '09 is at the top of my Christmas wish list!

Just sent in another one....

Facing the MommyBacklash: Her Bad Mother faced disdain and outrage after being
featured as a mommyblogger in a national newspaper. Dooce is written off as exploiting
her children every day. The Momosphere in general faced a massive
backlash after being told they were "overreacting" about the Motrin
Moms ad. Is criticism about the Mommy Blogosphere fair or unfair? Is it
constructive or misogynistic? Is it legitimate or is it simply that the
rest of the world isn't used to Moms having public voices and what's
more, public strength?

Visit my blogs at ThreeSeven (all that's irrelevant and amusing) and
ecochick (all that's green, cool and Canadian).

If I got it in by the end of 11/24 in california does that count

Yeah, technically, it's about as down to the wire as I could get it... (seriously, who got rid of November on my calendar? What do you mean my child is out of school for Thanksgiving tomorrow?...) but I got it in.

Either way, just reading thru these comments? This is going to be such a fun year at BlogHer in Chicago!!

Can't wait to see everyone!!

the power of social networking

AnissaMayhew — Mon, 24 Nov 2008 20:39:07 -0600

I'm finding amazing personal connections and talented people through sites like Facebook and Twitter and Digg and Stumble...I think it would be an awesome idea to have a track about how to navigate through these sites, how to use them to benefit your blogs and how to find others.

I've met others who are intimidated by the social networking aspect and i think that by showing the benefits and the how-to's of making your way in soc-net, it could make it a more valuable tool to bloggers.
