I was going through my feed reader, trying to catch up on the new reviews and random posts that all the bloggers I follow have published recently, when I noticed that Amanda over at Letters Inside Out had a post up about something called “BBPOC”. I did not immediately recognize the acronym, so I had to poke at it.
Imagine my surprise and delight to discover that it’s an ONLINE conference for Book Bloggers and Publishers! How freakin’ cool is THAT mess!
Since I can’t do any traveling to big bookish events while the Geekling is young (Can you imagine me trying to control a toddler while attending BEA? Are children even allowed on the floor there? I wouldn’t be surprised if not!) this is just the kind of thing I really love to know about.
So, I’m going to attend.
Thankfully, the hubby doesn’t mind me spending the $45 registration fee – which really doesn’t seem all that steep if you think about all the knowledge you’ll gain and networking you can do.
I’m so excited!
They’ve got most of the stuff set up on a Ning site, and panels will be through a voice chat kind of system. The preconference Q&A was today and it seems like it’s going to be pretty thorough. I’m totally excited about it! It’s fully online – I think most of the hosts and moderators are on the west coast, though.
Call in sick to work! 😉
I followed you like from the BBPO. I am a new follower. See you later at the Conference.
