What if BlogHer seems out of reach?
In the blog community, we have ways of getting diverse and lesser-known voices to the table.
Method #1: Volunteer
We are taking names for volunteers. In addition to any other volunteer needs we might have, we're going to have Blogherships for people who commit to live blog the sessions.
Method #2: Ask for a sponsorship
No really, several prominent women bloggers are publicly signing up to sponsor one or two blogger who otherwise could not attend, and challenging others to do the same. It started with Nancy White, but more offers have cropped up in the Comments section of that same Bloghership post. Some of these offers even come with offers to put you up in a spare room!
I've never seen this kind of grass-roots participation in a conference, have you?
