If speaking at a conference is on your list of things to do in 2012, BlogHer’s call for ideas is open until Thursday, January 5 at 5 pm PST. Yes, that’s tomorrow!
Each year BlogHer asks the community to submit ideas for topics, sessions, speakers, and moderators. It’s perfectly acceptable to nominate yourself to share your knowledge with the blogging community or submit a session based on where you’ve noticed programming holes in the past.
If you aren’t familiar with BlogHer’s timeline for programming, here’s some helpful information from the BlogHer site:
This is the Call for Ideas for the first round of BlogHer-planned programming. A second round, called BlogHer’s Room of Your Own (ROYO) programming, will take place early next year. BlogHer’s timeline

A wealth of helpful resources can be found on the BlogHer site including Jes Ferris’ How to Become a Speaker at BlogHer Events, past conference agendas, this year’s conference tracks, ways to make your submission stand out, and the link to the submission form.
I’ve spoken at 2 out of the 4 BlogHers on ROYO panels and also at the Geek Bar and have to say that it is a great experience! The BlogHer team is amazing and will make sure that you are well prepared before you take the stage if your proposal is accepted.
Good luck and see you in NYC in August!
As a member of BlogHer’s Tech Committee, I am passionate about good programming for the conference but was not required to share this on my personal site. Information and image courtesy of BlogHer.
