			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://dallas.wordcamp.org/">WordCamp Dallas</a> is later this month &#8212; March 29-30. Netconcepts&#8217; own <a href="http://videos.webpronews.com/2008/03/06/smx-west-2008-chris-silver-smith/">Chris Smith</a> will be speaking on SEO for blogs. There&#8217;s a great lineup of speakers, including WordPress founder <a href="http://ma.tt/">Matt Mullenweg</a>. Registration is only $20. There&#8217;s no reason not to attend! Even if you blog on a different blog platform, you should still attend. The networking with fellow bloggers alone is worth the travel costs. I speak from experience, having attended WordCamp in San Francisco last summer and I loved it.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.blogworldexpo.com/">Blog World Expo</a> is another fabulous conference to attend. Their inaugural year was last year. It took place in Las Vegas and will be back in Vegas this year &#8212; September 20-21. At last year&#8217;s conference I spoke on an SEO panel with SEO gurus Aaron Wall, Andy Beal and Vanessa Fox. I stayed to the very end of the conference, and I was glad I did. I got to hear billionaire blogger <a href="http://www.blogmaverick.com">Mark Cuban</a> speak during the closing keynote of the conference.</p>
<p>Then there&#8217;s <a href="http://www.blogher.com/blogher_conference/conf/2/general/1">BlogHer 2008</a> &#8212; a conference for and about women bloggers, taking place July 18-20 in San Francisco. All the speakers are women. My 16-year-old daughter <a href="http://videos.webpronews.com/2008/03/10/smx-west-2008-chloe-spencer/">Chloe Spencer</a> (the <a href="http://www.neopetsfanatic.com">Neopets blogger</a>) was privileged to <a href="http://www.news.com/8301-10784_3-9753204-7.html">speak</a> on their Professional Blogging panel at BlogHer 2007. I attended last summer and really enjoyed it, even though I wasn&#8217;t the main intended audience (i.e. women bloggers).</p>
<p>One guy I spoke to during a cocktail reception at BlogHer last year told me that BlogHer was a great conference for single men like him to attend. He said it was &#8220;like shooting fish in a barrel.&#8221; Haha, I laughed when I heard him say that. Contrast that with WordCamp Dallas, which is projected to be <a href="http://charlesstricklin.com/2008/03/18/wordcamp-dallas-attendee-breakdown/">75% male</a>.</p>
<p>Any other conferences for bloggers out there that I&#8217;ve missed?</p>
