Save These Dates: BlogHer Conference '06

Save these dates:

BlogHer Conference '06

Friday July 28 and Saturday July 29, 2006

San Francisco Bay Area

In 2005 we asked, "Where are the women bloggers?" Women who attended the conference answered that question with a resounding, "Right here!"

In 2006, in line with the goal of manifesting leadership by wired women (see the BlogHer Vision), we will ask, "How is your blog changing the world?

"

How are blogs making a difference in your lives, your families, your communities, your businesses and/or the world around you?

Thank you, all of you who volunteered to help with next year's conference. We accept! As you'll see from these survey results, we BlogHers overwhelmingly want a second conference that is a two-day event with a heavy emphasis on serious curriculum (rich media and advanced tech training are biggies) and serious socializing. We'll be back to you in our next news bulletin with a description of how we'd like to work together on the many moving parts that BlogHer '06 requires.

PS-Special note to BlogHers on or near the Eastern United States: We heard your pleas for a BlogHer Conference East. Please bear with us as we grow the conference to two days first. BlogHer wants to go east in 2007.

In the meantime, we are, as always, open to any and all feedback, suggestions, offer, and ideas. Post them in comments here or by emailing:

Sorry for this comment being

Sorry for this comment being incorrectly placed - I wanted to post in the "room and ride" thread of the Conference '06 section but couldn't find how to do that as there were no original posts and didn't see an option to start posting there.

Anyhoo....I was hoping we could get a list of folks who were looking for people to share a ride with or a room with or people who were going solo. I am traveling alone from the East Coast and booked a room which I believe will have two beds and want to see if anyone wants/needs a roomate.

Where to post for rooms and rides

Hi:

I think rooms & rides is a category that can only be used in the Forums, not as a Personal Blog entry. Did you try starting a Forum thread?

Hi Jill

Who were you asking your questions of? Elisa? or Stacey? Elisa definitely still blogs here, she's one of the founding three and instrumental in the success of the BlogHer network and the BlogHer conferences.

Stacey is also around off and on.

You are posting replies in a very old thread - this was from last year's conference in San Francisco. You might consider starting a new forum discussion and ask your questions there - it will float to the top and folks will be able to find you more easily.

You are interested in reading some good blogs? Well we have a ton of them, what's your primary interest? You can find blog posts, on BlogHer, separated by topic areas. Those are linked on the left. You can also surf the blogs we keep on our blogroll by clicking the "blogroll" tab at the top of the page.

Do you have a blog? If you do, please link us so we can come and visit you!
