Stay on top of the latest news or developments in the blog conference world:

Newly Added Blog Conferences

Have you heard about the new blog conferences just added to the blog conference list?

  • Last week I mentioned the Social Media Prom in San Francisco. Well here’s another prom opportunity: the Blogger Prom! This one happens in Hollywood on September 22nd from 7-10pm. The theme of this prom is “Hollywood Confidential” which means it’s all about classic Hollywood glamour. But this event is an invite-only one, so check if you qualify for an invite.
  • SheCon 2011 is happening May 20-22nd, 2011 in South Florida. The first 200 bloggers who register will be able to register for FREE!
  • The 2011 blog and social media conference list is shaping up already! In order to take advantage of big savings, be sure to check back often as new events are being added daily to stay on top of early bird registration deadlines.

Newly Added Blog Conference Ticket Contests

Really want to attend a blog or social media conference, but just can’t swing it? Besides pitching for personal sponsorship, you may try entering to win a ticket through the various contests. Newly listed contests are updated on the Blog Conference Tix Contest page or found in the sidebar (updated regularly).
