I’m going to Blog World Expo in October, and if you’re serious about promoting, monetizing, and growing your blog, you should be joining me. I’m looking forward to networking with bloggers from around the world, while attending some great sessions and meeting a bunch of really smart people. There are tracks and sessions around monetization, content creation, video, audio, and a bunch of sessions surrounding community, social media, and social networking. Plus, last week we learned there will be a full WordCamp: Las Vegas happening on the expo floor.

I hope to see you there… hit this banner to register, and you can also use discount code BWESEP20 to save an additional 20%:

I’ll be heading down on Thursday afternoon, kicking things off on Thursday night, doing the conference on Friday and Saturday, and then using Sunday to relax a bit, follow up with people I met, and take some photos. That banner is an affiliate link, but I wouldn’t be promoting it if I didn’t think it sounds great.

Speaking of photos, here’s Las Vegas at Night as photographed in January:

I’m excited to see that VegasGeek has announced the agenda for WordCamp: Las Vegas. It’ll be great to have blogging “celebrities” such as Matt, Lorelle, and Liz together in one place. Lorelle’s energy at WordCamp Portland was amazing. It’ll be great to meet the woman who called me an SOB in July 2006. And that Matt guy? I’m a big fan of his work.

The topics on the agenda include everything from SEO to XML-RPC, community and managing contributors. I’ll be presenting Beyond Beer and Blog, a look at how the Portland tech scene is using social media to drive the building of communities both online and off.

If you’re traveling to Vegas, there is a great hotel discount code for the event but it’s only good through December 10th. Check out the hotel discount details and make your reservation soon to take advantage of the WordCamp discount.

At any rate, it should be a fun event. I hope to see you there
