The Secret’s Out: SOBCon 07 Is in Chicago May 11-12!

ME Liz Strauss wrote this at 2:03 pm

It’s Amazing!

It’s amazing what can happen when a tiny brat pack of relationship bloggers has an idea they think is worth pursuing . . .

SOBCon ‘07

Take Your Blogging to the Next Level

A Relationship Bloggers’ Conference and Networking Event

SOBCon 07 button link

Head over to the SOBcon URL http;//www.sobevent.com and get all of the details. There are only 250 seats available.

Gosh, we’d be grateful if you’d pass the word to your friends about it. It’s too cool to keep from sharing the news with your friends. Don’t you think?

The best part is that you won’t be a stranger, because I’ll be there! I can’t wait to meet you in 3-D!

    Hey Liz,
    I stole my neice’s computer just to visit for a short time.
    The announcement went off like a charm and hopefully everyone got my email last night.
    I think we’ll have a full house for this one.
    Possibly bigger than the Savannah Conference???
    See ya later.

    The last time I was in Chicago was to see John Malkovich in True West in 1982 or something. Will he be there?

    Hi GP!
    We’re going to open, open comments on when the microphones are live and the Blog Talk Ratio will be there. I’m not yet sure how that will work. But the interactive experience and the meeting face to face . . . maybe we’ll just have to rent a bunch of airplanes. :)

    Gosh, Karin!
    That would be so fun! We’ll have to figure out what it would cost to bring to the UK. Would your company sponsor us?

    Great idea! How many SOBs are there so far? I’d love to come but it will depend on my wife’s getting a new job to allow me to take the time off :)

    ME Strauss said

    Hi Jesse!
    I think there are some 500 SOBs now, but the conference is open to everyone. It sure would be fun if you could be there! :)

    Cessna Pilot Air Traffic Comptroller, we have a fleet of Cessnas full of SOBrs requesting permission to land in Butte. Our landing strip is just not big enough … permission to re-route to Bozeman and get limos for a proper escort. :)

    Copy that

    I just got an email from Butte Limo, they were talking about a fleet of limos . . . Do you know anything about this? . . .

    They were asking what color I like. :)

    Looking forward to meeting you in person, Liz (among many others). Two questions: Will Basil be there? …and… how well stocked is the hotel’s nacho supply?

    ME Strauss said

    Hi Tim!
    We’re sure hoping Basil will make an appearance. Since his fame he’s hard to keep track of. :)

    Nachos . . . I’ll check that! :)

    [...] Last Sunday, we released the announcement for SOBcon 07. It’s a relationship bloggers’ event. We lived our message. We reached out to our friends for help in spreading the news — if they believed the event was worth talking about on their blogs. Most everyone we asked to help has blogged about the event.

    The BEST websites are an ongoing conversation . . . said

    [...] One of the things I’ve come to realize in talking with him is that the best websites are an ongoing conversation. Those are the websites that people keep coming back to over and over again. Liz from Successful-Blog.com calls it Relationship Blogging, though it certainly isn’t limited to blogs. Some people call it Web 2.0, some call it interaction, some just do it and don’t call it anything at all. [...]
