I cannot wait for this conference. Last year I got so much information that inspired me to work in a very focused way on my blogging.

In 2009, I know I'll get even more out of the conference...plus I get to fly. Oooo, pretty clouds!

Hope to see you all there!

I've wanted to go to BlogHer Business but couldn't swing two BlogHer conferences -- so.... '09 is the year for me to do business and annual! Got my room reserved, the dates blocked, and am now ready for flight finding and I was just wondering.... will there be any super duper early bird deals giving a discount for combined registration for both conferences?

Roomies

It definitely helps to share the burden of the costs:) I just asked some of my favorite bloggers, and was estatic when they said yes! Plus, between the four of us, it makes the lead up to the conference that much more fun to chat about together, becasue my husband is already sick of me gushing about it:)

Is it typical to share rooms?

So is it typical to share rooms with someone? I am so excited, Chicago is not that far from me, so will definitely work to make it up that way this year, YAY!

God Bless,

roomies?

lisanoel03 — Fri, 21 Nov 2008 11:19:06 -0600

Newbie, and confused.

Will everyone have a roommate? And if so do we have to find one on our own or if we call and make the reservation without one, will be assigned one?
And whats the max roomies? Lastly, does that mean the "room rate" is split however many ways?

I'd LOVE to stay for 3 nights but don't know how I'll swing even one night if things stay the way they are now. But I only know one BlogHer that will attend and I'm sure she's got a zillion roommate requests.

Oh Boy..Oh Boy...Oh Boy

I agree with Elisa

If it helps you plan:

Conference programming will begin bright and early on Friday morning. Friday night we'll host a cocktail party.

Programming will resume (again) early on Saturday morning and we'll also conclude the day with a cocktail party.

So if you're limited to two nights' stay, you're probably weighing missing some of Friday morning's kick-off sessions against missing Saturday evening's closing reception. Tough choice!

Rate not extended

I did ask about a rate extension for some of the next week, the agent tried but it wouldn't work. Oh well!

It can be extended

Kristy Sammis — Thu, 20 Nov 2008 14:29:35 -0600

Our room block is actually open from Monday (7/20) through and including Sunday night (7/26), but we have far more rooms reserved Thurs + Fri + Sat. Therefore the "shoulder" nights will sell out sooner.

Great question! And if you're planning on staying past those dates in one direction or another, you can always ask to see if they'll extend you the group rate...you never know!

Quick Question -

Maria0305 — Thu, 20 Nov 2008 13:56:16 -0600

I plan on staying in Chicago about a week - do you know if the $199 rate is just for those two days, or if it can be extended?
