Amy! Thanks so much for mentioning Women Create Media- It’s the first conference I’ve produced, and I’m so, so excited to bring together two of my favorite worlds- blogs and traditional publishing. I really appreciate your support, and hope to see you there if not sooner! All best, Lindsay

I have conference fever every year and it gets worse as you start to attend more of them. I just need money, sponsors, a live in nanny and lots of mileage points.

@Ponn Sabra, Muah! Thank you! Going to update right now…
[Reply]
Thank you for putting together this list! I too had no idea there were so many nor did I know there were so many in NYC. It’s only a 1 hour train ride for me. I was so bummed that I couldn’t go to BlogHer NYC last year so maybe I can go to one of these other ones. Is there any NYC one you highly recommend?

@Marianna, I have only attended BlogHer, Type A, Mom 2.0 & evo, so I honestly have no idea! I hear BWE is fabulous and if it’s in NYC this year, I’d say jump on that one for sure.

Thank you for posting this, you are the bomb! Wish I had the $$ to go to all of these–they look so interesting!
