Duncan Riley’s Call for an Australian Business Blogging Conference

Been meaning to follow up more quickly on Duncan Riley’s clarion call for people to help put together an Australian business blogging conference. I talked/emailed with a few people about this a few months ago and found that, as the comments on Duncan…

I’ve got no problem with the wide angle lens approach, if someone feels they can get it all together. My personal interest is more in something more focused, for small to medium sized business people and bloggers who are interested in finding out what synergies can be created between pro bloggers’ expertise and the needs of the small biz owner who wants to get with what’s happening and I suspect there would be enough curiosity in that sme and even solo trader sector to get a reasonable bunch of smart people together and have some creative business outcomes.

I would certainly be interested in attending if one came around this way.

I guess the alternative is an online conference?

Hmmm… How about small ones in each capital city (if possible) and including NZ and have them run concurrently and interlinked.

So Duncan in WA might present a workshop in Perth on whatever and it would be streamed to the other venues where it could be participated in by those interested.

So I might go to Melb and take a workshop from Darren in Melb, Duncan in Perth and someone in NZ.

The keynote(s) could be streamed to all venues for all participants.

I know there’s some logistical nightmares there – but lets talk possibilities before we talk realities.

Many of us couldn’t afford or justify interstate travel so this approach would lessen travel costs. And with less travel costs, I’d have more to spend on the event itself.

yeah – perhaps small and less formal is the key. Could make it a day long thing to cut out accomodation problems in a cheaper place and see how many come to it. Then 6 months later try for something a bit bigger…..

Wherever it is held, we’d just have to make sure that free WiFi is provided … can’t have a blogging conference if nobody can blog about it while there !!

I would love to see a conference locally … even if it is just a small event initially – I’m sure it will grow quickly as people realise how good it can be.
