The one conference I really wanted to attend this year is the one I’m not attending. But if you’re close enough to Las Vegas that plane fare isn’t equivalent to mortgaging your home, you should definitely jump on the opportunity to attend BlogWorld and New Media Expo 2008.
It was announced today that Richard Jalichandra, President and CEO of Technorati, will be keynoting at BlogWorld. In his address, Jalichandra will present findings from Technorati’s 2008 State of the Blogosphere report. This recent report provides comprehensive analysis of the Blogosphere, offering deep insight on the growth, statistics, and market trends at play in this fast growing market.
Jalichandra will explore bloggers and the state of blogging today, including a look at who they are, where they are, and why they blog. Additionally, he will discuss key market drivers, such as audience demographics and motivations, a break down of industry growth based on genre and geography, and business opportunities for bloggers.
The conference schedule has finally been published and I’m rather tickled to see that two of my favorite people, Jason Falls and Brian Solis, are on the same panel. The whole schedule looks intriguing.
BlogWorld Expo will be held at the Las Vegas Convention Center, Sept. 20-21, 2008. You can learn more about this gigantic, fun, and useful (yes, all three) event at http://www.blogworldexpo.com.
