I‘m heading to theBlogHer ‘06 conference today, being held in San Jose (disclosure: I‘m on the advisory board for BlogHer). I‘ll be hanging out with hundreds of other women bloggers, learning how to "primp my blog" (look for some changes soon here!) and leading a session on tagging.
As an analyst, I attend tons of conferences every year and this is the only one that I really, really look forward to (OK, I admit that the geek side of me also enjoys CES). In fact, I enjoy it so much that I give up a sacred weekend day with my family to hang out with like-minded women.
I love BlogHer because I learn and grow so much personally -- as a blogger, a woman, mother, wife, person. That‘s because the level of engagement is so high -- the attendees are here not because their company sent them but because they want to share their passion for blogging.
This passion comes from what I call a "culture of generosity". As Iwrote earlier about generosity, bloggers tend to be very giving by nature. So if you put a whole conference together of them -- and galvanize them with the common goal of supporting each other -- you get a powerful, moving experience with heated discussions, moving moments, and loads of laughter.
But why even have a conference focused on women bloggers? Theidea of a conference first surfaced in March 2005, just a short 18 months ago. The theme of the first conference last year was "Where the women bloggers" and one of the goals was to highlight and support women bloggers. The goal: to dispel the myth that the blogosphere was heavily male (and white).
And here‘s some data that we have to further dispel that myth -- this comes from an online survey we did in Q1 2006 of US online consumers.
