Details are still being worked out but I can tell you that the entire hotel will be used for this event.

Planning is underway… Watch here for more information and be sure to follow @I_BlogConf on Twitter!

Conference dates are November 5-7, 2010.

Thankfully I was proved wrong.  Oh, it was small, don't get me wrong.  But I know that everyone met everyone else and that no one left feeling overwhelmed by the sheer number of people.  Friendships were made this weekend- which accomplished my main goal: to form a community.

The speakers were amazing.  All were relevant, all were involved with the audience and questions were asked and answered easily.

I had only a few sponsors for this event.

Creative Memories took a big chance with me and I think it worked out well.  We were shown how to utilize the digital scrapbooking software personally and I know that created more fans than just handing out software for the attendees to take home.  HUGE thanks to Jenny, Creative Memories media guru, and Amber Gustafson, CM consultant in central Iowa, for their expertise and a fun evening.

Land O' Lakes Milk, a Dean Foods brand, was a huge supporter of the conference.  Land O' Lakes milk is available in Iowa, Minnesota, North Dakota & South Dakota.  Land O' Lakes milk recently began a program to benefit your schools.  Each cap from their milk is worth 5 cents if redeemed by your school.

Dexter PC in Dexter, Iowa provides computer repairs and can creat the computer of your dreams.  They brought in a few for us to play with and I know the pink netbook was added to a few Christmas wish lists.

BJ Weber spoke at the conference as well as sponsored it.  He was able to take the very dull information that is taxes and make it not only understandable but interesting.  If you are a blogger with tax questions BJ has an "Ask an Accountant" program that could benefit your business.

So, if you are wondering about I_Blog '10…  Yes, there will be one.  Tentative date: first weekend of November.  Location: Iowa.  I'll begin planning after the new year.  For now I'm just going to breathe…  Until then, why not read what others had to say about I_Blog '09.
