Newly Added Blog Conferences

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

Altitude Design Summit: This summit takes place January 19-22nd, 2011 in beautiful Salt Lake City, UT. Design and lifestyle bloggers will be in their element, discussing media, design, advertising, and of course, blogging!
American Wine Bloggers Conference: Love wine? Enjoy blogging and social media? Then this is the conference for YOU! It’s all taking place in Charlottesville, Virginia on July 22nd-24th.
SOBCon 2011: Having been put on the SOB List in the past by Liz Strauss (sounds bad, but trust me it’s good! It stands for Successful & Outstanding Bloggers), I know how cool of a concept SOBCon is. Per their website, “SOBCon is the think tank of the social web, where the best minds in the Internet space gather to present models, discuss insights, and determine best practices. We review the changing landscape, identify valid strategies, discuss and develop tactics, report case studies, and share actionable business ideas. SOBCon2010 is high on content, expertise, interaction, and value.” Join other SOB’s in Chicago on April 22nd-May 2nd, 2011. Want to attend a SOBCon event sooner? Head to Broomfield, CO on September 17-18th this fall for SOBCon Colorado!
Barkworld Expo: Join pet lovers from around the world at this pet-focused blog conference which takes place in Atlanta on August 20-22nd.
Beer Bloggers’ Conference & the International Food Blogger Conference: Brought to you by the folks who host the American Wine Bloggers’ Conference, these two conferences obviously follow the food/drink theme. IFBC, which is in Seattle August 27-29th is sold out, but they are taking names for the waitlist in the event that tickets become available. The Beer Bloggers’ Conference will take place October 5-7th in Boulder, CO.

Conference Deadlines Coming Up

Whether it is a registration deadline or the end of early bird ticket rates, don’t forget these upcoming dates:

Only 2 ONE Early Bird tickets are still available for the Type-A Mom Conference! This is a $50 savings and once they’re gone, tickets will be full-price. Get yours before they sell out or before the end of the early bird pricing on July 23rd! (As of 7pm tonight, the rumor is that the last early bird ticket has been sold.)
