I mentioned yesterday that I am speaking at the Blog World Expo in Vegas next week - the topic will be on Community Building with Dave Nalle from BlogCritics.org, which will certainly make for a interesting presentation. Dave does something I have never been able to pull off - build community around politics. In fact, I have had political conversations destroy communities I have built… so I think we’re all in for a treat next Thursday.
So I want to know - any of you going to be in Vegas next week? If so, drop me a note here so that we can make sure we connect!
What presentations are a ‘must attend’ for you? I’m particularly looking forward to Raising Capital for Your New Media Business in case I ever want to go that route.
If you aren’t going, I’m curious - why not? Is it time, cost, travel? Did you already go to SOBCon, BlogHer, or the B4B conference this year? Or are you planning on doing other in-person networking instead?
And if you are last minute like me, you can still buy your ticket and get a discount via the eMoms discount code - just enter the code EMHVIP.
Thanks to Tom, Lisa, Lornadoone, Laura, Naomi Dunford, bAngela, Mother Earth, Maura, & Karen for sounding off last week about their biggest successes as an entrepreneur!

I can’t go. I have to work..
I have to work too.
Wendy,
I’ll be there - would love to chat - I’ve been working with the moms space and am interested to hear what have to say about community.
I’ve wanted to go many of these blogging conferences, but I haven’t necessarily felt “legitimate” enough to attend thus far. Now that I’m maintaing four or five blogs, I guess I’ll have to retire that excuse and stick with the “I can’t afford it . . . yet.” There’s also the impending arrival of our bundle of joy that will either keep me locked in the house for several months or drive me to find a conference to attend for “professional” reasons.
I really, really wanted to go, but as things turned out that time is completely unavailable due to family obligations. I was pretty frustrated when I found out that the two overlapped.
I’m a lurker, but I thought I would delurk to say I am going! I am also going to Postiecon on Saturday. I am looking forward to going and learning more about blogging in general and meeting some friends I have made via blogging.
I’ll be there, Wendy, and being able to meet you other than virtually will be great. As for choosing sessions, it’s been seriously challenging, with so much to choose from.
have been intriqued to go to the conferences, for now money and time keeps me from attending — sortof working the 60 plus hrs thing right now, I think if i attended any confernece it would be local and SOBCON, when is that in 08??

I would love to go to BlogWorld in Vegas, but I already spoke at BlogHer and I have a lot going on at home with my family.
I’m coming too Wendy - this time I will make a point to seek you out - looking forward to it!!
I’ll be there! You going to any of the fun stuff?? Pajama party? Movie premiere?? Or just taking in the town?
My first trip to Vegas.. and with hubby there speaking who knows what I will be up to!
See you there!
See you there Wendy!
Can’t wait to meet you and hear you speak about Community Building.
See all you guys there!
That pesky day job thing is preventing me from going, as well as the 3 kids who insist on eating and going to school every day.
Wah! I wanna go.
Like many of the others that are not going, I will not be attending due to a combination of the cost and the time away from work and family.
By the time I had given it consideration, my window for reserving vacation time at work had closed.
