I’m attending the BlogWorld and New Media Expo for the third year in a row. The first year I was nervous and didn’t know what to expect. I’m sort of shy when it comes to meeting people and BlogWorld ’07 was the first time I traveled alone. I didn’t know what to expect or even if it was a good idea, I only knew that I wanted to meet other bloggers. I needn’t have worried. BlogWorld turned out to be an important event and career boost.

by Deborah Ng As you know, I’m just back from the BlogWorld and New Media Expo conference in Las Vegas. Now that I had a little time to rest up and catch up, I can tell you I had a blast.

If you’re going to BlogWorldExpo, I do hope you’ll stop by and say hi. As you know, I’m a big fan of blogging conferences as it’s a good way to learn and bring bloggers together. I don’t think I’ll be attending as many classes as I’d like since I’ll be spending time at the BlogTalkRadio booth. It’s all good though.
