Update: Unfortunately this event was canceled (details).
This is a great event for business bloggers. As they say:
Blog Business Summit is a conference series that covers the
intersection between business and emerging online communications
technologies such as blogs and online social networks. The conference
aims to provide attendees with a practical understanding of how key
technological and cultural developments will are impacting businesses
and customers. Attendees will leave the conference with practical,
actionable information that they can put to immediate good use.
Steve and Teresa also do a great job of using a blog to tell the story of a conference. It’s gives you a feeling of ongoing excitement building up to the event instead of a one-time static brochure.
