Put it on your calendar. May 2 – 4, 2008. Register. Book your flight and hotel in Chicago. And be there for this year’s SOBCon, the Successful and Outstanding Bloggers Conference.
This year’s theme is Biz School for Bloggers with an amazing line up of the best of the best to bring the business of blogging and blog relationships to you.

Last year, it was a one day event that rocked many bloggers’ worlds. This year, it’s been expanded to three days, packed with everything blogging. Seating is limited to only 250 so register now for this unique opportunity to spend three days with the best in blogging.
Don’t know what you’re missing? I wrote up a summary of SOBCon 2007 last year while still reeling from the amazing energy and enthusiasm.
Yes, I’m going to be there discussing the business of blogging, and I expect you to be there, too.
Last year, to help promote the SOBCon event, I published a series of articles on the Blog Herald on blog relationships.
- Building Blog Relationships: Reaching Out
- Linking Relationships
- Building Relationships With Your Most Popular Posts
- Building Blog Relationships: Making a Good First Impression
- Blog Relationships: Fishing With Lures and Bait
- Blog Relationships: Are You Listening To Your Readers?
- The Relationship Conference: Building Blogs Through Interaction
Remember, the real business behind the business of a blog is the relationships and how you turn your connections into business with your blog.

Lorelle, what a terrific lineup. I was there for SOBcon ’07 and can attest to what a truly fabulous conference it was…and the next one seems to have done the impossible: taken something great and made it better. See you in Chi-town in May!
I plan to travel to the USA around that time. I might work my itinerary so I could attend this.
Thanks Lorelle, for telling everyone about it. It’s so exciting this year, I can hardly contain myself!!
@ Liz Strauss:
I am so excited about this conference. I think it will the the must-attend conference this year for bloggers.
If I swallowed an African bullfrog, I couldn’t be more jumpy and excited.
SOBCon 07 was tremendous. I can’t wait for the ’08 version!
Thanks, Lorelle, for building the buzz. I loved meeting you last May.
Which reminds me … I’ve gotta go get the post done for today at SOBEvent.com!
