BlogHer, a conference in the nobody spirit

Of late, I've been a nobody with nothing much to say. Mostly because I have been nose to the grindstone clearing away work before next week's vacation to "the happiest place on earth" (r) [sic].

Then finally, inspiration. I want to let all the nobodies know about a conference this July that is in the same spirit of the I.A.N. -- BlogHer. If you aren't familiar with the event, it started last year in response to the question, where are all the women bloggers? But it is far more than that, and I urge nobodies, male and female alike, to consider attending. You won't find the same old, same old sessions. Or the same speakers that you saw at the last few conferences you attended.

You will find a different kind of conference. More structure than an unconference, but a freshness and a spirit of cooperation unlike any I have ever experienced at a typical industry conference. Yes, you'll see a few "somebodies" on the program, but everyone acts like a nobody! Which is why it is one of the few events that I will spend my own money and travel cross-country to attend.

Now, full disclosure,  if you do decide to attend BlogHer,  I am part of an "unpanel" on Business Blogging Case Studies. Everybody's invited. We need your stories. If you're interested, drop me a note.

I am definitely a Nobody, and I'm getting more and more tempted by the idea of attending the BlogHer conference! I do have to limit the number of "for-fun" conference I attend each year, since I work trade shows for a living, but I'm hoping to find a way to attend!
