| BlogWorld & New Media Expo Blogging, the increasingly popular form of online communications, will assume a new level of importance in the business community next year with the launch of the inaugural BlogWorld & New Media Expo, slated for the Las Vegas Convention Center, Nov. 8-9, 2007. The event, which will combine elements of the corporate communications world with the needs of active, individual "bloggers" will be the first gathering of its kind. According to show producer, Libby Durfee, the event will provide a platform for businesses to connect with established corporate and mainstream bloggers, vloggers (video bloggers), podcasters, Internet radio broadcasters, and other new media outlets seeking the latest technologies. She said it is the only tradeshow, exhibition and conference designed to support the dynamic industry and business of blogging. The event will also feature a comprehensive seminar program, led by experts in each field, appealing to specific blogging needs, such as increasing readership, monetizing a blog, and the influence of blogs in politics. One of the conference tracks will address the needs of businesses that are already active in the blogosphere or are interested in taking advantage of the tremendous opportunities blogging offers as this form of communication gains recognition as an increasingly significant factor in the coming years. BlogWorld, which will encompass 40, 000 square feet of space at the Las Vegas venue, will also host the Weblog Awards, recognizing the best blogs of the year from several categories. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Exhibition News :: home page |
