I have been asked a lot about the plans for Type-A Mom Conference 2010. Behind the scenes, there is much going on. I am finalizing a place, and once that is done I can announce the date and location. The tentative possible dates are currently Sept. 24-26 and Nov. 5-7. I am also opening the call for speaker proposals. If you would like to speak or know someone who would be ideal to speak, please complete the...

I am very excited to announce ticketing is now open for the Accents on Asheville Speaker Dinners at the Type-A Mom Conference. Each of the dinners will provide a unique chance to experience the wonderful local dining scene (to learn more about that or a particular restaurant, be sure to see the local tourism office’s where to eat in Asheville page, or their Foodtopian Society site). If you aren’t...

Wow, we got some amazing entries into the poster competition. We didn’t have much in the way of quantity but quality was through the roof! I want to announce that the winner, who will receive a mompreneur sponsorship valued at $500 to showcase her work at the conference, is Dawn of My Home Sweet Home with this poster: It was so hard to pick, however, so I also have two runners up. I will also make these...

Type-A Mom Conference isn’t simply a chance to network and learn, but it’s also an opportunity to get away from the hectic pace of parenting and blogging. That’s why my friends in Asheville want to be sure you bloggers have a great time here. We are doing that with optional free blogger tours before and after the conference. Be sure you register below, and book one ticket for each person going...

Type-A Mom Con attendee Sarah of Real Life (who just so happens to even live close to me in real life… in Boone, NC) was wondering who else is coming to Type-A Mom Conference. So she created this: Are you coming? Be sure to help those of us doing Type-A Mom Conference see which friends (and people we just love to read and look up to) will be there. Post it on your blog too, won’t you?

We are happy to welcome Accents on Asheville as a premium sponsor of Type-A Mom Conference. Accents on Asheville will be hosting the blogger tours around Asheville, as well as the speaker dinner. They are also the sponsor of the Speaker Dinners Friday evening that will give attendees a chance to network with and learn from the wonderful Type-A Mom Conference speakers. Here is a description of Type-A Mom Conference...

Just like any decent event, the Type-A Mom Conference just has to have a cool official poster. Since Asheville is full of artists and since I know so many mom bloggers are uber creative and, quite simply, graphic art geniuses, I decided to let you guys design and help choose the official poster. How to enter Create an image that can be made into a high-quality 18″x24″ vertical poster. Get as creative...

At each conference, many times bloggers get great ideas and want to launch new sites (or they prioritize and decide it’s time to focus more on fewer sites). We’ll have a blogger’s silent auction for those of you who want to sell your domains, blogs or web sites. Loading…

Update: The bus taking everyone to this is a very cool local tour company called LaZoom Tours. The spaces are now filled up for this. If you would still like to go, you can either drive or catch the hotel shuttle ($5) to The Health Adventure, but you still must comment below to RSVP and state that you are coming as self-drive or shuttle. I have some very exciting news for early arrivers to the Type-A Mom Conference....

The Type-A Mom Conference is about helping small business owners (be they bloggers or those who want to reach bloggers), mompreneur and dadpreneurs find success. We want to be sure you have a chance to get exposure in front of mom influencers, even on a budget. I just added a variety of sponsorship options priced to be affordable, ranging in price from $500 to $1,500. See the list of small business, local, mompreneur...

I just added some information on booking your room with the special Type-A Mom Conference discount at the Hotel page. I also added the Getting Here page with info on three airports serving Asheville, as well as a Google map with directions to the conference and a list of driving times to Asheville. You might be surprised to learn Asheville is driving distance from you (it’s pretty central).

Kid Con is the side of the Type-A Mom Conference that could, quite possibly, be the most unique feature of the conference. A mission I had in creating this conference was to finally offer a chance for moms to not just “be able to” bring their kids. And that’s when it struck me: why just offer babysitting? The kids can have their own conference! I am still working through details, so this isn’t...

Wow! Registration opens and we already get slammed with signups in just a few hours’ time. Hey, cool. So now I’m being asked about badges, and of course I know we all want to show off our #typeamomcon spirit. Here’s a badge for attendees: To insert it, copy the following code: <a href=”http://typeamomconference.com/registration/”> <img src=”http://typeamomconference.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/typeamom-attendee.jpg”>...

I am excited to announce that registration is officially open! Considering the way every blog conference lately has sold out months before it is being held (and the killer speaker line-up we have for the Type-A Mom Conference), I am expecting the same thing here. There are also some distinct benefits to registering early. The Super Early Bird rate of $100 per person is extremely low, and it will eventually be...

On Saturday morning during the Type-A Mom Conference, we will take a break from the conference madness to enjoy a Mom Market. Asheville, known for its 35-plus regional farmers markets, is a place where Saturday mornings are typically spent chatting with local producers, sampling great tastes and discovering unique crafts. We’ll do the same thing, but with a focus on combining local flavors and attendees’...

Why should a conference’s sessions and line-up only be created by a select few? For the Type-A Mom Conference, we want you to help us decide on the programming. Who better to create a mom blogging conference agenda than mom bloggers and potential attendees?
