MBA Annual Conference/Awards - Washington DC in May

We are still sorting out logistics so we do not have a firm set of dates yet but make a note that the MBA will be holding an MBA Conference in Washington, DC in May. The model will be what we did at BlogNashville in May, 2005 The hope is that we will be running these conferences annually and not every two years.

If you would be interested to work on this event in some capacity please contact Robert Cox at rcox at mediabloggers dot org. We will be particular in need to any help people can provide with meeting spaces in DC (we plan on holding multiple events over a 3.5 day period), help with sponsorships, logistical support on the ground, technical support, etc.

At some point we will create a committee for this event, drawn from folks who are doing work on the event, and that committee will be involved in scheduling speakers so please - do not start volunteering to run a session or speak on a panel.

At this conference we will be announcing the winners of the new MBA Awards program. Some work was done this over a year ago. We are going to re-activate that work and, as soon as we've built in the Voting Module to the web site, enable members to participate in the nominating and voting process.
