I’m so super excited to announce that the first annual Book Blogger Convention is open for business!

Being held on Friday, May 28th, 2010 participants are welcome to join us in New York City for a great day of food, fun and education.

We have a blog set up publicizing all the details we have set forth at this time.  Subscribe to it or check back regularly as it will be continuously updated as new information becomes available.

For your pleasure here are some of the most important general details:

  • Date: Friday, May 28, 2010
  • Time: 9:00 am – 5:00 pm (registration and breakfast starts at 7:30 if desired)
  • Location: NYC Seminar & Conference Center, NYC
  • Price: $90 (early bird registration fee if paid by 2/14), $115 thereafter
  • What’s Included: light continental breakfast, keynote speaker (TBD), 5 learning sessions, lunch and best of all networking with cool people

At this time we are diligently working towards crafting informative learning sessions with a dynamic and diverse roster of presenters.  Sessions will center around the following topics — professionalism/ethics, marketing, author/blogger relationships, building community, and writing/building content.  Each will be scheduled with both the new and veteran blogger in mind.

I’m not going to go into every minute detail here but rather encourage you to visit the Book Blogger Convention Blog where you can not only Register for the convention but be kept apprised of all the most important information pertaining to the event.  As mentioned earlier it will be updated regularly as new details become available.

I’d like to take the opportunity to encourage anyone and everyone — bloggers, authors, activists, publishing industry types to join in and register. The convention is open to all who may be interested in how technology (specifically blogging) plays a role in the bookish arena.  Outside of the awesome benefit of learning together, for me, the best part about this convention will be the opportunity to meet and connect with others who are interested in, passionate about, and enjoy books and blogging as much as I do.
