On Friday I’ll be attending/MC’ing BlogPotomac in the DC area. This latest un-conference is being organized by Geoff Livingston with some assistance from Debbie Weil. I’m glad to say many of the session leaders are longtime friends and colleagues and I look forward to the discussions.
I feel flattered that the event has followed the BlogOrlando model I started a few years ago. If I have my facts right I think Geoff returned from BlogOrlando this past year and said, “Let’s do this in DC!”
A number of other locations/events have sprung up in the past few years: BlogSavannah, SoCon, BlogPhiladelphia and BlogCarolinas to name a few. I’m glad the BlogOrlando concept has spread as it has. However, my original inspiration for BlogOrlando was BlogNashville which took place in 2005…seems like so long ago.
I hope to post some photos from the event and perhaps a recap, but I imagine most of the comments will come on Twitter.
Speaking of BlogOrlando, we’re holding our first planning meeting on June 26th.

You got yourfacts right. I hope my city benefits as much as yours does! Thanks for the great idea, Josh, and it is so fitting to have you here.
