Blogging Event in Chicago

Have you ever wanted to talk to fellow bloggers in person, without using their comments box? On the weekend of May 11-12 in Chicago, you can have that opportunity.

SOBCon07 is a conference that was born from – you guessed it – blog comments. When I heard about this over the weekend, I realized that I was a small part of those comments. It is being presented by Phil Gerbyshak and Liz Strauss, the latter I have not only communicated with through comments, but using that other device on my desk called a telephone. The agenda includes speakers, presentations and plenty of networking opportunities.

What does SOBcon stand for? SOB, despite what you may think, stands for Successful and Outstanding Bloggers. The name got my attention too!

Hi Mike,
So are you coming to the conference? It would be so great to see you there! Shall we do a cup of coffee or a glass of wine first? I know of a place with wifi and access to wine and the worlds most wonderful nachos. . . . at Roscoe and Broadway.

Hi Liz - Unfortunately I won’t be able to make it - a family function in Dairyland has come into fruition, and I will be up north.  It does look like registrations are starting to pick up - cool!
