SOBCon08If you’re a blogger or interested in blogging, the Queen of All Things Blog, Liz Strauss and SOBCon08 need to be on your calendar. Registration is now open and live with the venue selection. SOBCon08 will be at the Summit Executive Center in downtown Chicago May 2-4, 2008. (Click the link. The animation there kicks ass.)I could write all kinds of lavish compliments of Liz and of SOBCon, but the website describes this best:

Part seminar, part conference, part deep networking event, SOBCon08 is even more about YOU!
We’re bringing back what you valued last year, and we’re adding more depth, more coverage, more opportunities. Take a look inside. Here’s some of what’s at SOBCon08 for you this year.

  • Enjoy Entertainment & Open Comment Night
    before the information flow begins.
  • Build an actionable plan of working models
    presented by experts
    who use them.
  • Share ideas and forge working relationships
    through the unique integrated team-based approach.
  • Show your expertise in the speedspeaking event
    that invites attendees to present their best practices.
  • Be part of the most incredible group of participants any conference has ever known.

We’re calling it, Biz School for Bloggers.
It’s good to know the business of running a great blog whether you blog for money or entertainment. Check the schedule. No term papers are required.

Whether for love or money, if you blog for readers or community, you’re in the business of blogging. This conference can help you achieve your goals, faster with more confidence, and more predictably.

Trust me. Liz delivers on the promise. This will be well worth the trip, time and investment for you or your company.


Most of you know I won’t be able to attend my own self. Kathryn Ann Falls is scheduled to arrive May 6. I’ll be kinda busy. But Liz has assured me the coming birth of my daughter is a valid reason to not be there. Take copious notes for me and fill me in on what I miss.
