Really? I hadn't heard of that one. =) I've never attended a conference either, but I would love to. I would be attending by myself because none of my BFFs blog, so that scares me a bit. Sadly, I'd also probably be a fashion outcast, because my main attire consists of yoga pants and t-shirts. I've enjoyed reading all of the comments on this post though. I'll be stopping back to see what else the gals have to say. Good luck choosing one (or five!) Blogalicious? Really? I hadn’t heard of that one. =)

Except to meet the women whose blogs I read? And to learn how to use fewer exclamation points (or commas? haha) Though since I just read that Ann Voskamp is speaking at Relevant one I SOOOOO just want to go slobber on her feet. Or something.

Anything outside of Utah is way beyond my budget. I’ll be speaking on the panel of Casual Bloggers Conference here in Utah.

And I'm pretty sure this won't be a decision I'll have to make in the next year or ten b/c the only people who read my blog are my mom. Make that "person." HA! But good luck in your decision!!

In short, it really depends on who you are, what your goals are and what you're looking to learn. She Speaks is outstanding as a ministry support but the information is geared specifically towards writers, speakers and women's ministry leaders. Blogging (at least for right now) is kinda an after thought (in other words, not really info on making money - these ladies are there to make money speaking/writing). BlissDom is excellent in my opinion for learning about specifically blogging -- all aspects of it. Last year it was small and great for this introvert. I'm a little afraid of this year because I think it's going to be bigger, but I'll just have to take breaks for myself! The Relevant Conference Jen mentioned above is one I'm really looking forward to and hoping I can go. It's geared more towards what I'm looking for (just writing better and sharing my beliefs). I don't know that it will have so much making money sessions. http://therelevantconference.com/ Hope that helps a little. If you have any questions about She Speaks or BlissDom, I'd love to try and answer them from my perspective :) Been to She Speaks 2 years and this will be my 2nd year at BlissDom.

It seems as if there are SO many to choose from and hard to navigate which are worth attending. I love reading the responses from your readers and I'm looking forward to stopping back to see additional ones.

I think you'd love it and it has the most valuable info in one conference for the type of bloggers we are, plus, all your favorite people attending & speaking, with great surprises. Blogher is ok, but only for meeting people & going to parties. I have been the past 2 years & don't plan on going this year. Last blogher there were sessions I wanted to attend, but the rooms were over capacity. That sucked. I even waited in line outside of one 45 minutes before it was to start. I didn't get to sit in even ONE session during the entire conference. I'll be at Blissdom (workshops & conference!) steph Steph Blissdom.

I liked the smaller size. Less fuel for my social anxieties. I think Alli has a real heart for the bloggers she plans for and the topics aren't just for people who make money off their blog. It's for people who blog because they love it. Please come!!! Love that you've switched to full feed, by the way. I went to blissdom last year and I’m going again this year. I liked the smaller size.
