science blogging conference

Science Blogging Conference - Registration is now open!

2008NCSBClogo200.png Late last night we opened the registration for

the 2nd Science Blogging Conference.

To register, go to the registration form and fill out the details.

To see who is already registered, go here.

If you will be here on Friday, January 18th and want to join us for

dinner, add you name to this list.

If you are on Facebook, join the Conference Event and invite your

friends. We will appreciate it if you could spread the word in

whichever medium you are most comfortable - word of mouth, e-mail,

online social networks, or your own blogs.

I know September 1st is a holiday, but opening the registration today

will save our server as thousands of interested participants will

spread themselves over a few days instead of all logging on at the

same time ;-) This way, those of you who are perpetually online and

get your information on blogs (and Facebook, etc.) will be able to get

the first dibs, while the advertising for others will start on

September 4th.

The wiki is ready for you to explore. The conference program is

building up nicely - we secured some spectacular speakers and session

leaders and are in negotiations with some others. Feel free to edit

the bottom of that wiki page with your own ideas. Suggest a session

and offer to lead it.

Of course, as the conference promises to be much bigger than last year

(due to the media coverage after the first one - see this page for

blog and media coverage) we need to cover the increased expenses (and

provide food, swag, etc.), so if you and your organization are willing
