« A World of Difference from BlogHer 07 to Vegas | Main | In Jet Blue and Women We Trust »

Back to BlogHer 07 and VERY Social Media

Liz_sabotar Unlike Vegas, what goes on at a BlogHer never stays at BlogHer, it only begins.

What happens at these little gatherings some men may ask? TALK! Lots and lots of talk filled with ideas and inspiration or just being goofy. I was amazed at how fast conversation went from "Hi" to "Deep." These are women with backbone and opinions - some long held, others just formed over cocktails. One thing is for sure, they aren't waiting for anyone to give them permission to speak freely. Pier_review_2

I didn't set out to be a card collector, but as I look over this stack I'm stunned at how many insightful women I intersected with. No wonder I came away so energized. The pile doesn't begin to cover it all because there were many like Yvonne and Susan that I already knew and therefore don't have their cards. And, there were many, MANY more that I never asked for because we were having too good of a time wining and dining.Wining

Men reading this might be a bit shocked to see this list. After all, it was only a two day conference with a few side events. On top of it, this wasn't for business networking, just to visit other people who have blogging as core means of communicating.

Just for fun, I thought I'd list every card in my collection of serendipitous meetings. Before I do, however, I'd like to thank all the women of BlogHer for putting on a spectacular event that was women friendly at every touch point. Business could learn a lot from you. Special praise goes to Kristy who has mastered the art of heading cats and keeping the logistics in order.

And now - the list. I just grabbed off the URLs given. Each of you gave me so much more to take home besides a card. Thank you for your energy and contributions to a more open society. Kristy
