You Should be at BlogHer ’09!
Thursday July 23, 2009, Sheraton Hotel & Towers, Chicago, IL.

Now in its third year, the BlogHer Business Conference is an annual crash course on best practices for reaching the most influential and powerful consumers, women online. The social media world is nothing if not rapidly evolving, so BlogHer Business is designed to get you up to speed on the latest techniques, tactics, tools and trends.

They’ve taken in the feedback from past BlogHer Business participants and this year decided that one of the best ways to provide immersion in the Blogosphere is to hold the event immediately before their annual conference, allowing attendees who choose to register for that event as well as the Business event the best opportunity to experience and network with the bloggers.

BlogHer Business attendees will join a mix of social media experts, business bloggers, and brand marketers who have experience building campaigns and working in social media environments. As always, they are capping attendance to provide the kind of intimate and interactive environment that has proven to be fertile ground for deal-making and innovative brainstorming.

On the agenda:

*Review of the State of the Blogosphere 2009: BlogHer will deep dive into the results of its latest commissioned benchmark study, focusing on the motivations, influence and shifts in media usage among women online, extracting insights and identifying trends since the previous year’s inaugural study was published.

*Five case study panels, featuring detailed accounts of top brands who have engaged social media audiences. BlogHer Business is unique because they present case studies that look at social media campaigns from a 360 perspective, including the insights of the companies, agencies and targeted bloggers involved!

*Networking breaks and end-of-day cocktail party, where attendees may connect with BlogHer Contributing Editors and speakers at BlogHer ’09, representing the most influential women bloggers out there.
