Blogging Conferences

Before I get into today's post, I want to thank all my sweet followers! In the past 14 months, 501 lovely ladies have decided, for whatever reason, that BBD is worth following. I appreciate all of you and hope that BBD is a useful, user friendly resource for you to use over and over. To celebrate, I have some giveaways coming up this week, so stay tuned.

Okay, today I wanted to talk about blog conferences. There are several out there just for woman, but not always the easiest to find, so I'm compiling a list (what can I say, I like to make lists - that should be evident here at BBD). The locations vary, but hopefully there will be one near you.

Why attend? Basically, to connect with other bloggers, to network and to hopefully just learn how to blog better. I am excited to be attending my first blog conference, the Type-A Mom conference, in September, in Asheville, NC.  
Thank you to Tamara, who writes about blog conferences at Blog Conference Newbie, for letting me know about her great site. Blog Conference Newbie lists lots of blog conferences and provides tips and tricks when attending a blog conference. If you're at all interested in attending a blog conference, her site will prove very useful.
    If you know of an all-woman conference that isn't on the list, please let me know.

      Now if VA could just get in on the Women Blogging Scene, it'd be great. Love your blog!

      Sprittibee - Thank you! I added it to the list.

      Jessica - Awesome! Hope you have a great time! I wish they'd do one in the Southeast.

      KimberlyR4U - How far is Nashville from you? That might be an option. I'm driving 2 hours to go to the one in Asheville.
