This year FitBloggin’ would like to extend an invitation to volunteer LiveBloggers!

There are a total of 10 sessions that must be captured by LiveBloggers and we are looking for 5 volunteers. LiveBloggers need to be able to type quickly and stay unbiased. Volunteers will be responsible for creating an official record of the sessions they are assigned to, transcribing the conversation and capturing the content. You will need to use your own laptops to work. This important position requires capturing/blogging 2 sessions during the conference. Read the rest of FitBloggin’ 11 is Looking for LiveBloggers!»»

Attending blogging conferences alone is scary. I know, I do it all the time. You don’t know anyone. You don’t know if anyone knows you. You aren’t that active on Twitter and everyone else seems to be. You are very active on twitter but none of your Twitter friends are going. Your blog is new and everyone else seems to have been blogging for years. I can keep going but let me fill you in on a BIG secret… Read the rest of Free Hugs at FitBloggin’11!»»

Popchips’ mission is to put the fun back in snacking and that’s just what they’ll be doing at FitBloggin’11! We are very excited to include them on our list of sponsors.

For my fellow Popchip fans out there…. I’m curious… what’s your favorite flavor?

Me? I’m partial to Barbeque especially when I have some salsa or back bean dip.

Just a quick heads up as we are beginning to post speaker bios and hope to finalize the speaker list for FitBloggin’11 soon. If you submitted an application and have NOT heard from us have NO fear… we will be contacting you one way or another to let you know. The response to speak at FitBloggin’ was WAY more then we anticipated and we’ve been reaching out to applicants in batches. Bear with us.

We are also happy to announce–thanks to Katy‘s recommendation–the new FitBloggin’ Chatter page! It’s a collection of FitBloggin’ mentions across the social web. There’s been so much great CHATTER about FitBloggin’ that we wanted to capture it in some way. Click here to check it out! Great idea Katy!

We apologize for the later notice about the conference room rate. The Marriott was in the process of launching their new reservation system. Now have our own web site!

The standard room conference rate is $215, which includes in-room Internet this time. Click here to visit the location page with all the hotel information and reservation link.

Note: Reserve your rooms as soon as possible even if you aren’t sure you are coming. The conference is the same weekend as the Preakness and rooms go fast in Baltimore for the famous horse race (It’s one of the reasons I couldn’t get the rate lowered even more.) Just remember you can always cancel your reservations if plans fall through!

Oh! and remember.. feel free to use the Who’s Comin’ page comments to look for roomies!

Is there something specific you want to learn at FitBloggin’11? Looking to monetize? Connect with brands? Maybe you are more of a hobbyist blogger and want to learn how to take better photos or discuss ways to motivate and inspire online.

If you have an idea for a topic that you want to see covered at the conference leave it in the comments below. We can’t promise to cover it all but we’ll do our best!
