I really wish I could have stayed longer at this conference (my cat went into the hospital on Tuesday, and I needed to get back so I could bring her home). I met all sorts of people from all different types of companies - large companies like Microsoft, large companies you wouldn't expect to see at an event like this (H.R. Block's been blogging - I didn't know that!), and smaller independent consulting agencies or individual bloggers. And everyone was there to discuss the same thing...corporate blogging. How do we get our companies more involved in blogging, why should we get more involved in blogging, and what problems do we face from blogging (and how do we deal with them).
It was really fun. I didn't have to play my usual "social butterfly" self, running from person to person to try to get them to talk...people were open and more than willing to meet and talk.
Was it because 90% of the people there were women? I honestly couldn't tell you. I've been to conferences that felt like this before, I really have, but they were back in the gaming days where either we all knew each other from playing together online, or I was somewhat 'recognizable' due to my work in the industry. Did the mere fact that we were all women open us up, make us feel more comfortable than people are at most other conferences (where people tend to stick around the people they already know)?
No clue. I will be going to the next BlogHer conference, though, and I fully intend to stay the entire time. This was a blast, and I look forward to seeing all the women I met again in the future.

Nice to hear you had a nice weekend, Stephanie.
Out on the coalface of J-land, we have had no alerts for the last 8 hours. Nobody, nothing.
