In November this year I’ll not only be the first time in fabled Las Vegas, Nevada, but I’ll be meeting more bloggers than have possibly ever gathered previously in one place, at the BlogWorld & New Media Expo, November 8-9.
I know that expo/conference organiser Rick Calvert is keen to attract a wide range of bloggers, as indicated on the event home page:
producer of any other form of new media content. If you blog about
business, technology, politics, sports, lifestyle & culture,
general news items, or celebrity gossip, If you are a Milblogger, or
Godblogger, or advocate a social position you need to be at BlogWorld
& New Media Expo.
If there aren’t some good discussions - and good parties! - out of all of that, then we’ll only have ourselves to blame 
The trade show will be a terrific opportunity for companies with products and services of interest to bloggers, podcasters, vloggers and other attendees:
web/blog/podcast hosting companies, aggregators, add-on services,
plug-ins, widgets, computer hardware & software, wireless services,
podcasting products, wireless & high speed ISPs, VOIP companies,
on-line advertising networks, news readers, RSS/syndication services,
search engines, consulting companies, affiliate program partners, new
media products and services … and many more.
The Expo conference program covers a wide spectrum of topics, from Business Blogging 101 to “What Web 10.0 Might Look Like: The Far Future”.
As the program shows, there is a related Executive and Entrepreneur conference on November 7, at which I’m scheduled to speak. This is the event described on the expo website as the “CEO Conference“:
Wednesday, November 7. Sessions will be focused on corporate blogging
and use of new media in business environments. Offerings will
enlighten experienced corporate bloggers as well as individuals who
aren’t really sure what a blog can do for their company.
Still working on a few details with my co-presenter and will post more about that as soon as possible.

I’ll be looking forward to meeting you there Des! Can’t wait to see all the people involved. I’ll be presenting on two separate topics.

I’m looking forward to meeting you and so many other bloggers I only know virtually at this point. It will also be a first for me to be in a sizable offline gathering of bloggers - I haven’t been to the USA since I started blogging and a couple of attempts to help get a bloggercon going in Australia have gone over like a lead balloon (another James - Farmer - did put on a blogger conference in Sydney two years ago but I didn’t pick up on it till after the event).
Just thought you would like to know that podcamp is coming to Australia this september. podcamp is a free unconference that covers all aspects of newmedia including blogging and podcasting. For all the details go to http://www.podcamp.info
Thought I’d drop that shameless plug as I am one of the organisors.
That’s great, Jared. I’ve done the expression of interest and hope others will too. I voted for Brisbane because it’s closer to me, but I see those Melburnians are leading the pack just now.
Unfortuantely I could not the trackback working. I wanted to let you now that I wrote a post on our trade show display blog about this post of yours.
I look forward to meeting you there. Thanks for all the information. Very, very, exciting.
