After five years and six BlogHer conferences, I know so many members of the BlogHer community, it’s inevitable that I won’t connect with everyone at BlogHer next month. And I’m just going to have to deal with it.
Here’s where I’m planning to be Thursday August 5 Tuesday August 3 – Sunday August 8. If you are in the same places, I hope we connect.

If you’d like to join me on either of these excursions, just let me know. Best way is probably Twitter (@sgetgood)
3:00pm Train home!!
Disclosure: Starred (*) events are hosted events to which I was invited for one reason or another. Avery Social Luxe is a public party with limited space that sold out early. Everything else I listed above was/is open to all BlogHer attendees, although some events did “sell out” due to capacity constraints. My Sunday activities are personal, but I’d love folks to join me if they are interested.

Gee, i hope we’ll have time to say “hello”, you are probably busier than I will be 🙂
I love taking the train from NYC to DC, but have never taken it Boston to NYC. I bet it’s beautiful, eh?
PS-The Liberty Mutual tour also had open sign-ups on BlogHer.com, although it, too, had space constraints.

Hah! I doubt that. Everything seems to have piled into Thurs. and Fri. which is kind of nice, as it leaves me Saturday to cruise around and look for people I haven’t had a chance to connect with yet.
My golden rule of conferences is to show up at as many events as I can, but to never stay long in any one place.
And to sit with people I do not know at lunch. Breakfast is too early to worry about it, and the evening events are too chaotic. But lunch. I always try to meet new people.

Just found your blog- hope I get to meet you at BlogHer!

That looks like a pretty packed schedule! I haven’t been to very many conferences, so I’m definitely amazed at all the stuff everyone gets done. I’ll be there, but I’ll be there to work in the Walmart booth, so my schedule isn’t quite so packed.
Susan Getgood says
Mine is slim compared to some folks. And I’ve added a few things since I posted this.
There’s no one right way to experience BlogHer. Except to enjoy your experience and not worry about anyone else’s.
