So far the Blog World Expo has been great. I wasn’t sure what to expect and I was even hesitant to purchase my ticket early but I jumped in and did it anyway.
Overall, the convention is of the highest caliber in terms of decor, organization, etc. There has been some frustration over the registration cards that either give you access or deny you access to each room. This has been a tiny problem for me. Others feel pretty strongly against it.
The tradeshow is smallish but strong with support from major players in the market. Plus the free swag is awesome. I think I already have 5 t-shirts and I’ve only been through half the tradeshow. I’m looking forward to some more stuff from Yahoo!.
The blog classes have been hit or miss. They’ve either been really excellent or really poor. The greatest part: Blog World is having us evaluate every session for next time. This not only falls perfectly in line with the blogging atmosphere but it shows their commitment to the industry. I’m sure that others felt different depending on their level of understand and interest. I’ve been blogging for three (3) years now and I’m fairly advanced compared to many here at the expo, which has skewed my opinion this week.
The after parties are great. Tons of food, fun, and interesting people — seeing bloggers in the pajamas wasn’t something I expected here in Las Vegas.
