Conferenza - Professional blogging

Before bloggers were blogging, Conferenza was sending protobloggers to conferences to write up reports for those back home. Shel Israel has just sent me his write-up of PopTech, and it's durn good - concise and thoughtful. And I agree with him that this year's PopTech was superb. (No, his reports aren't always this upbeat, and even in this one he isn't shy about pointing out the few clunkers.)

Conferenza costs $200/year for individuals, although first-timers get a 50% discount. Is it worth it? The quality is excellent, but you'll have to decide if it suits your needs. One thing it makes clear, though: There's a huge difference between the type of spotty live blogging I tend to do at conferences and having a reporter there who is responsible for covering the event.

David,
Thanks for the very kind words. If anyone wants to see the entire reports, they should email me at: shel@conferenza.com and write Joho sent me in the subject line.

Just to clarify: the report is free to anyone sent to Conferenza by Joho, the Weinberger.
