2012 Blogging Conferences, Part 2
BlogHer, 2011
We covered (most of) the first half of 2012 in my last post about the 2012 Blogging conferences, but don’t worry. Here’s the info on the rest of them – I hope – that have announced dates for 2012.
Big or small, blogging conferences are an amazing place to learn, to network, to kick off your shoes and dance, and to meet other people that love the internet as much as you do. My favorite thing about blogging conferences is how I never need to apologize for looking at my phone or my laptop – because generally we’re ALL looking at our phones and our laptops. It might seem anti-social, but I assure you it’s not.
So, ready to learn about the rest of 2012′s conferences?

BlogHer 2012
There's no denying it; this is the penultimate conference for blogging women (not just blogging MOMS, for the record). You don't want to miss this one. In New York City August 2nd through 4th, 2012. For more info go

Evo Conference
This wonderfully intimate conference is held in the most beautiful place I've ever been – Park City, Utah (but watch out for altitude sickness!). With an easy pace and a different approach to sponsorship and the traditional expo hall, Evo is a great conference for new bloggers. Scheduled for July 12th through 14th, 2012. For more info go here!
Casual Blogger Conference
This conference claims "We wanted to break away from the traditional conference setting. We wanted to provide an intimate conference experience for attendees. We want to empower and inspire the regular bloggers, the stay at home moms, the small business owners, the crafting guru." Sounds good to me! Scheduled to be in Salt Lake City March 9th the 10th, 2012. For more info go here!
