As I mentioned back in April, the annual BlogHer conference will be held in Chicago starting this Friday. The event will bring in female bloggers from all throughout the country to speak on a wide variety of topics including identity issues, photography, crafts (with panel speaker comedienne Amy Sedaris), tax implications of blogging for pay (from taxgirl), and technical labs to teach you design and other relevant skills. There really is something for every blogger. The conference is open to everyone, men and women alike, and the organizers state that last year the attendees were 25% male. Online registration is still available. You have the option of registering for a single day or for the whole weekend.
Check out this link to see all of the great speakers and panel topics that are available. The closing keynote speaker will be Elizabeth Edwards, wife of Presidential candidate John Edwards.
