Upcoming Blogging Conferences
Another sign that blogging is continuing to gather steam — the increasing number of conferences about it.(Such as Business Smart Tools, which is actually about more than blogging, and which is gonna be even bigger next year!)
I’m going to two in the near future — one on Podcasting, and one on Blog Biz.
Podcamp Boston looks like fun. It’s free, which is a big plus. Although I have absolutely no plans to podcast myself, several clients are interested. One thing I want to learn about is podcast metrics — ways to get some stats on downloads and feeds. Podcamp seems like it will have a whole range of topics to pick from — check out their Podcamp Wiki for more info.
Blog Business Summit is going on October 25-27. (Yet another West Coast conference — oh well.) This one looks more business-centric than BlogHer06. Not to dis BlogHer — it was fantastic, and some day I’ll actually organize my notes and thoughts and post them here.
Last year’s conference was held in San Francisco, and looks to have been very well-regarded.
And as a bonus link, here’s a great post from Dave Taylor on The Critical Business Value of Attending Conferences.
‘Nuf said.

Thanks for being one of the organizers, Chris. And for giving me another site to check out.
Thanks for the “special offer,” too. It’s nice to be in with the in crowd.
