The BlogHer conference is organized into five different subject areas or “tracks”. Feel free to stick with a single track, or to track-hop as the mood strikes you.

Art of Life: This track is devoted to the passions about which so many of us blog…food, art, photography, crafts, knitting, writing, music and more.

Business of You: This track is devoted to personal and business advancement. We will discuss speaker and media training, self-branding and promotion, mentoring, turning your blog into a book or a business, and even managing your time, your finances, your blogging policies and best practices…the business of you.

Community: This track is devoted to the care and feeding of communities. We’ll discuss building bridges between different online communities, how to galvanize social change with your blogs, and how blogging is a voice for different communities around the world.

Identity: This track is about both the immutable and the dynamic aspects of our lives. Race, gender, age, sexuality, parenting, singledom…many of us blog about who we are, not what we do, and this track will explore your many facets.

Technical: Day One’s technical track focuses on presentations that will help you decided how you want to get your geeky on, while Day Two will be more lab-oriented, so you can get your hands dirty.
