Ah yes… conventions. They’re a massive congregation of people in the same industry that are interested in either expanding their personal or business horizons. I have only been to one convention that covered blogging, and that was Blog World Expo in Nov. 2007.
The whole UBD team went, and it was a great opportunity to meet a lot of folks in the blogging world and expose the UBD brand. We networked with a slew of elite bloggers, business owners and managers, and new clients. On top of that, we were able to listen to some great speakers and learn cutting edge techniques for success. Blog World was a total win for UBD.
This year, we’ll be attending another convention in addition to Blog World…
From what it looks like, these guys know how to have a good time!
Headed by Ted Murphy, Izea is a social media powerhouse. They are well known within the industry and offer great products and services to bloggers. Check out a full list of their blogging services.
This conference is going to be all about making bloggers more successful. UBD seems like a natural fit to attend because our goal has always been to help serious bloggers take their game to the next level.
I’ll be there, speaking on the blog design makeover panel. 🙂 My goal is to help attendees avoid the banality of mainstream blog design! Overshadowing my wimpy online presence, speakers by the likes of John Chow, Shoemoney, Neil Patel, Merlin Mann, and many other ridiculously qualified individuals.
All in all, this should be an awesome conference. Oh ya… I forgot to mention…
The day after the conference, everyone will be heading to Universal Studios Orlando! Like I said, Ted Murphy and clan know how to have fun. Hope you see you all there!!

I wouldn’t mind attending that myself.
Take lots of pictures & notes to share with the rest us please.
ps i dig the new design
Looking forward to seeing you there. IZEA sure does know how to throw one hell of a party!
I wish I could go. I am sure that there will be some great knowledge and information passed around. Sounds like a great learning event to optimize revenue and learn more about online blogging.
Hey Matt – I’m looking forward to my extreme blog makeover – and meeting you at IZEAFest!!! Yes, the Izeans DO know how to throw a fabulous, fun party – see you there :).
Hot damn dude. Loving your design as ever, and I’m just finished watching you live on UStream. Phenomenal stuff! 😛
