Not blogging a conference. There is a difference.
For my day job, I researched and started reading a bunch of military blogs earlier this year. Still am reading them, and likely will continue to read at least some of them here on out. I’ve learned a lot, and have been emotionally, personally moved at times.
Did you know that there’s a milblogger conference on April 22? (By the links, you can probably safely say yes.)
So, I got to thinking, what other kind of niche or non-mainstream blogging conferences are there? I did some research, and found the below list . . . along with a couple other blog sites of interest. So, are these on your conference schedule (listed in no particular order)?
BlogHer Conference, July 28 & 29, San Jose, Calif.
Godblog Conference. There was one in October 2005, but the current site doesn’t work. Can’t tell if there’ll be one in 2006.
Tracking online food blogging events
Fashion & Blogging Conference. Was Oct. 3, 2005, during Fashion Week. Haven’t found any reference to one in 2006. There was Digital Lifestyle Day (Jan. 23-24, 2006, in Munich).
Northern Voice: Canada’s Blogging Conference, was Feb. 10-11, 2006, U of British Columbia
There might be a wine bloggers conference in 2006.
Now, for the other blogs I found of interest:
AAPR Issues blog (recently marked it’s first anniversary)
For sale: Patriot Blog. (eBay bidding starts at $2500, though.)
A non-profit blog exchange, with some background/explanation here. It looks like it includes some good info. for non-profit blogging, as well.
So, what have I missed? What other blogging conferences are there, besides the ‘run-of-the-mill” (expected) ones?
