I’m excited to be heading to Las Vegas on October 13-17, 2010 for the BlogWorld & New Media Expo! The conference itself is on October 14-16, 2010 – but I’ll be there early.
I had a blasty blast last year. I got to meet some cool folks (who have since turned into friends and clients), check out some good panels and sessions, take awkward pictures of Dave Risley, see a Cirque du Soleil show for free, and just enjoy the company of my blogging colleagues.
But, what’s cool about this year is that I’m speaking. Dave Risley, Nathan Hangen, Mike CJ, and myself will be doing a panel on Saturday, October 16th at 11:00am on “Treating Your Blog Like a Business”. We’re taking it up a notch with our panel – no “just throw some ads on your blog” talk here. We’ve heard that a thousand times, and there’s no business strategy in that. Instead, we’re going to be highlighting information bloggers actually need to know in order to operate successfully as online entrepreneurs – like market selection, list-building, defining your goals and objectives, creating business plans and budgets, and (of course) outsourcing. Our session is for bloggers who want to go deeper and aim higher.
So, I want to know who’s coming to BlogWorld. If you’re going to be there, link up your blog below so I can get to know you before the event.
And bookmark this post, because I’m going to be updating it in the coming weeks with get-togethers I’ll be at, and more information about the panel I’m speaking on.
UPDATE 8/22/2010 – The BlogWorld schedule has now been posted. And our panel is scheduled to happen at 11:00am on Saturday, October 16th.

Lisa, I am looking forward to being at this conference as well as attending your session. Add that to a trip to Vegas, and I'm there!
Can't wait for bwe10!! Did you get a full access pass?! Are you going to the pre-blogworld tweetup at Diablos?
I think having a list of attendees' blogs is a great idea! I linked you on the BlogWorld blog:

Hope to cross paths at BlogWorld!
Lisa,
I look forward to meeting you. Thanks for creating this way to get to know people a little in advance.
Hey Judy! Thanks for stopping by and leaving your link. I thought it might be fun to put some blogs to names before the event.
Say hi at BlogWorld!
Thanks for that, Allison. Let's definitely cross paths at BWE.
Hi Lisa,
The link I gave you is for our company blog, but I also have a personal one. You might have fun reading it. http://judysoped.blogspot.com/
Look forward to meeting you.
Yeah, I have a full access pass. And it's a good possibility that I'll be at Diablo's. BUT, it's a bit too early in the game to commit to meet-ups.
Yeah, a trip to Vegas doesn't suck at all.
Hope to see you at our session!
Thanks for dropping in Melissa! You'll love BWE. The people make it worth the trip.
This is such an excellent idea!
Oh wow, I am so jealous of all the fun you lot will be having!
I'm really excited about BlogWorld this year. This will be my second year attending.
