Blogging While Brown

The 2nd annual Blogging While Brown Conference will be held at the University Center in Chicago,Illinois on June 19-20, 2009.

Blogging While Brown was created to give Bloggers of Color an opportunity to meet, discuss current issues affecting them, and learn about the latest technology that will assist them with publishing their work. The conference was created in response to widespread dissatisfaction with the amount of diversity in some of the largest blogging conferences.
