Blog Conference 2006

Looking for Input

Blog Conference 2006 will only be successful if we plan the type of event that people will want to attend. That's where you come in. I have two questions for all of you this morning:

1) Who would you like to hear as speakers?

2) What events within the event would you like us to have?

The comments are open. Have at it. The poll regarding the dates for the event is still open as well. Please vote and tell your friends.

It's time to start working on this little project, and I need your help. First up, let's take a poll to find out what you think would be the best time for such a conference.

Well, get to it. You can vote once a day. Please send some folks to this poll. Thanks.

What's the big idea?

The idea behind Blog Conference 2006 has been kicking around in my mind for several months now. Let me lay out what I have in mind and ask for your comments.

The basic idea is a convention/conference/get together for bloggers where we can share ideas, sources, tips, and of course just meet and have some fun
My thought on a time for this is early August of this year. That should be an acceptable time for those with families, and still allow enough time for planning and implementation.
Friday, Saturday, Sunday is my suggestion for a time frame with some options for those who would like to come in earlier or stay later.
Sessions would cover technical aspects, writing, promotion, and anything else we can come up with.
The ideal would be to come up with some high profile keynote speakers for the topics above for group and break out sessions.
Of course there would be some free time to meet one another and to take advantage of the things to do in the area.

I am anxious to see what you all have to say.
