I would love to be able to go to one of these one day
Jessica on December 24, 2009 12:12 am
Being a first year blogger, it seems that these conferences are only a dream away. I would love to attend Mom 2.0 Summit in Houston since it is local to me, but who knows.

This is such a great list, jyl. Which are you attending?
Rachael Herrscher on December 28, 2009 12:12 pm
This is a great list! I’ll be going to Blissdom, Mom 2.0, BlogHer (and Evo of course
I’d love to get to every one of them this year!
Rachael Herrscher on December 28, 2009 12:12 pm
Oh! I’m going to ALT too since it’s in my hometown — anyone else going? Excited for a day of skiing at Solitude as well!
Nicole Feliciano on December 29, 2009 1:01 pm
Love this list! Thanks for sharing.
Barb on December 29, 2009 7:07 pm
Awesome list Jyl. Thanks. So far I am committing to Chicks Who Click, EVO and Blogher (also IZEAFest)
Here is to some great 2010 conferences!
Megan Smith on December 29, 2009 10:10 pm
There’s also Blogging While Brown, in June in Washington DC. http://www.bloggingwhilebrown.com/
Thanks for this list.

Yvonne DiVita on December 30, 2009 1:01 pm
Great list! I knew about most of these, but there are a couple that are new to me. I love all the options and the focus on women and Moms (even though my Mom days are a bit behind me – maybe we should have a conference for GrandMas?? LOL)
Here’s a sort of Mom/women’s conference: Blogpaws, for pet bloggers. Stats show that more women than men have pets and consider themselves Mommy bloggers to their furry four-legged kids. These devoted Moms (and some ‘dads’) are looking for a place to meet, learn, and connect and Blogpaws is it. April 9-10, Columbus, Ohio…
Pet lovers, pet bloggers, brands and women in general are all invited. Hope to see some of you there.
Emily H. on December 30, 2009 10:10 pm
Thanks for putting them all in one place! Perfect!
Stephanie on December 31, 2009 1:01 am
Thank you for this excellent “round-up.” Someday I hope to attend Blissdom and Mom 2.0…and Evo sounds intriguing.
P.S. I’m selling my 2010 Mom 2.0 ticket for cheap if anyone is interested: http://metropolitanmama.net/2009/12/a-mom-2-0-story-why-im-opting-out-this-year/.
P.P.S. I’d love to see a blogging conference come to Phoenix, AZ in 2011!
MommaDJane on January 2, 2010 4:04 pm
Great list but you can’t forget IzeaFest! I loved that conference this past year and wouldn’t miss it again! I don’t think I’ll make Blissdom this year
but I’ll try for EVO ’10 and BlogHer since it’s in NYC and I just love that city. South by Southwest would be fun too since it’s local but conferences add up, don’t they? I hope we get to see each other again this year!
jodifur on January 2, 2010 4:04 pm
Thanks for such a fantastic list. I never knew half of these conferences existed!
TONYA on January 2, 2010 4:04 pm
Oh if only I could get to them all. So far I’m only booked for BlogHer though
niri on January 3, 2010 10:10 pm
I wish I could afford all of these, but takes too much money or time. SO aiming for BlogHer, Evo and Blogalicious. Is Type A Mom conference happening this year?
jyl johnson pattee on January 3, 2010 11:11 pm
Type A Mom will be announcing her date soon. We will add it to the list once she does!
