An annual conference held in Vancouver that explores, educates and celebrates personal blogging and innovations in the field of online social media.

Susannah Gardner has been a speaker every year this conference has been held, and Travis Smith has, in 2007 and 2008, been one of the conference organizers. It’s an all-volunteer organization, and while comparable blogging conferences regularly cost $500 or $1000 to attend, the fees for this one are still in the $40 / day range.

Susannah’s talks have run the gamut from ways to improve your blog’s design, to introduction tours of blogging tools. Travis also made a presentation about how to be a community journalist; it was very well received.
