Registration is now open for the 2nd annual Blogging While Brown Conference. The conference will be held at the University Center in Chicago, Illinois on June 19-20, 2009.

I attended the first conference earlier this year in Atlanta and was very impressed with how well it went. I had the opportunity to meet some great people and even had the chance to meet some of my favorite bloggers in person. One of the best things about the conference was the discussions that went on throughout the day. I enjoyed hearing what others thought about various topics and you can believe everyone had something to share. It was a lot of fun.

If you are interested in learning more about blogging, this year there will be a Pre-Conference Blogging Bootcamp where you can get training on the technical aspects of blogging. The only skills that are required to participate are the ability to use a computer, any word processing program, and experience using email.

If you weren’t able to attend last year, then add it to your calendar for ’09. I plan on being there and hope to see you there also. And I’m not going to call any names, but I know one Chicago blogger who I’d like to see make it this year. Here are some pictures from the first conference.

Early bird registration ends February 1, 2009. For more conference information, visit www.bloggingwhilebrown.com.
