Being the Conference Director for BlogWorld has its perks. For example, as the person who is the first stop for speaker proposals, I now know what conference organizers are looking for in their speakers and, also, how speaking at conferences is beneficial to speakers as well.

I love attending conferences. Lately it’s as if I’ve been to one a month, and that’s not a bad thing. For me, this is what it’s all about.

Tales of swag rooms and brand courting only served to keep me away as this wasn’t as important to me as the [...]

If you’ve been following me for any amount of time you know I’m not a fan of being exclusionary. I’m not a fan of lists of “Top Female” or “Top Male” whatevers because I feel that as long as we do this there will always be some sort of segregation. It’s one of the reasons [...]

This year, I’ll be attending my fourth BlogWorld & New Media Expo. I’m attending because I’m BlogWorld’s Conference Director, but also because I dig it so. For the last three years I attended BlogWorld in various capacities – on a press pass to cover BlogWorld for the online publication I wrote for, as a blogger [...]
