Schedule fail. UnBloggerCon, anyone? Or should that be BloggerUnCon?

by Ben Martin CAE on August 6, 2008 · 0 comments

Unfortunately, four people who I suspect would really like to attend Association BloggerCon IV, er, Meet the Association Bloggers, are actually presenting at the same time as the BloggerCon. Bob Wolfe, Greg Fine, Jason Della Rocca, and Andy Steggles all have competing priorities.

So here I am to propose the first-ever Association UnBloggerCon (who ever thought it would come to this???) It’ll be an opportunity for the association blogocluster people to discuss the state and the future of the association blogging community in a less structured format, as well as provide an alternative to Meet the Association Bloggers if folks can’t make that session due to other obligations. Location TBD. I’m thinking before dinner on Monday, August 18, say, 5-7 p.m. Then, we can all grab a bite and head over to the YAP party and throw down.

Who’s in?

I’d love to come if I can–it will depend on whether or not the Daily Now is done for the night or not. (This whole work thing really is playing havoc with my conference schedule. =) ) I hope to see folks there!

Did you say “head over to the YAP party and throw down.” I like the sound of that. I also like the idea of a UnBloggerCon.

Of course, you could slap “un” in front of almost anything and I’ll like it.

I’m in. I’m always in. I’ve basically quadruple-booked myself for every time slot. When is cloning going to be invented?

That time actually works better for me. Every “official” networking reception seems to be on Sunday so my Monday is pretty wide open during Happy Hour time.

Let me know where and when once you decide.

Yes, that time works for me too. Just pick the place and I’ll be there.

(Also, where’s the secret session happening?)
