Specially priced rooms are available at the Hotel Pattee for conference attendees. To make a reservation, attendees should call the hotel at (515) 465-3511 and use the code “iblog conference” for that weekend. Reservations must be made by October 23 to receive the reduced rates.
Halsted said that unlike other social media conferences, the focus of I_Blog is on the sessions, “not the swag.” She said, “Our goal is to build a community of Midwest bloggers; to give them the knowledge to create a social media presence that will help achieve their goals and fulfill their dreams!”
Melanie Nelson, owner of Blogging Basics 101 and co-author of Typepad for Dummies, highly recommends attending I_Blog. “I especially loved that everyone who attended last year (whether a new or seasoned blogger) learned something new,” she said. “All of the presentations were relevant to what people are doing regardless of their level of blogging.”
Please watch this site more details, schedule and speakers! It's going to be a weekend filled with networking, education and fun!
