List of US Blog Conferences
If you’ve been around me for more than 5 minutes, you’ll know that I am a HUGE proponent of blog conferences. I genuinely believe that it is the BEST thing you can do to improve your blogging game.
Blog conferences are the best and least expensive source of training, networking, relationship-building and just plain FUN in the blogging world. I make a point of attending at LEAST one per year, two if I can manage it. And it’s interesting – I am still in touch with literally dozens of people I’ve met at conferences, some of them nearly a decade ago. It’s sort of a special bonding thing, I guess.
If you are thinking of attending a conference (and I really hope that you do), you’ll want to check out my post on what to pack for a blog conference (packed with amazing tips!) and also my post about business cards and headshots for bloggers – both of them are definitely on the list of things to do prior. Here’s another very helpful post on what to do BEFORE, DURING, and AFTER attending a blog conference.
Anyhoo, here is a list of the upcoming blog conferences for 2025. This is by no means a complete or fully updated list of conferences – Mama ain’t got time for that, but it’s a good way to get started!
