In just a few days, Toby, Josh, Marianne and I will all converge on the WOMBAT conference to do some pretty heavy conference blogging. We've worked very closely with WOMMA do put a great blogger program together to make sure that we're setting a good example of how comp'ed conference blogging should be done, but at the end of the day, what do we know.

I'm more interested in what you all know. What are some of the "Best Blogged" conferences you've been to or read about? Have you conference-blogged yourself and have some good posts to show off?

I'd love your take on what you feel makes the best conference blog and conference blogging experience (and reader experience if you're consuming conference blog posts)

Thanks!

Dana, I wish I had more than a few months' experience as a blogger, so I could tell you about well- or poorly-blogged conferences from experience. What I can share is my gut feeling for how a conference should be covered by blogs:

Organized - Make it easy as pie for the visitor to find all the notes, photos, videos, PDFs, audio files, etc. on a given conference speech or session.

Dynamic - Use a mixture of text, audio and video coverage so people can follow the conference in a variety of ways.

Condensed - Provide comprehensive notes whenever possible during the conference, but distill them afterward for the sake of posterity.

I'm highly interested to see what others have to say about this subject.

Blogging about WOMMA is not unlike a Shaw play, where the characters often talk about having conversations. So I won't do exactly that over the next few days while I'm down here in Orlando working the show. Instead, I'll give you an inside look at the event from a conference producer's perspective and try to point out what the show does well, and what other events might learn from WOMMA. If that fails, I'll just blog about the bloggers who are blogging WOMMA. Dana et al, come find me while you're down here. (I want to talk to you about OMMA Hollywood in March.)...
