Everyone has been posting this info but I thought I’d wait a week to keep the info in the forefront. I’ve had the fun of attending the last 2 of these conferences and they really are a wonderful time. I hope everyone who reads or writes a blog in or about Mexico will consider coming to Merida for this. The weather is wonderful in November, the city is green and sparkling from the recent rainy season, the flowers are blooming, the nights are warm and the heat of summer is gone.
Mark your calendars! The Third Annual Latin American Bloggers’ Conference will be held in Merida, Yucatan, Mexico from Friday Nov. 12 – Sunday Nov. 14, 2010. The event is open to all Bloggers but in order for us to get ready, it will be necessary for you to pre-register.
Stay tuned… in the next few weeks, we’ll create a form and post it.
This year our venue will be a downtown college campus (www.tttac.com) that comes with wireless Internet, garden space, and lecture hall.
The activities will start on Friday evening, November 12th with a Cocktail-Social to Meet & Greet your fellow Bloggers.
On Saturday, November 13th we will have a full day of conferences/talks/workshops… lunch, more topics, and more opportunities to eat. Some of the ideas we have are:
· Identifying and keeping your blog’s Focus
· Adding Photos – Uploading, effectiveness and continuity
· Using you Blog to market your product / service / whatever
· A Beginner’s blogging class
· Advanced HTML techniques
Do these topics interest you? Do you have other suggestions? Would you like to do a presentation for your fellow bloggers? Do let us know because we want this conference to be as good as it can be.
Saturday will also provide an evening opportunity to see some of Merida’s clubs and bistros… There are a number to choose from.
We’ll say goodbye with a Sunday morning breakfast, unless you decide to stay and enjoy Merida for a few extra days.
Please email and let us know if you want to come and join us. Please invite other bloggers you know and by all means, post this information on your blog. We hope to have as many Latin American Bloggers attend the conference as possible. The more the merrier!
In a few weeks, we will be compiling a short list of hotels, restaurants and other places of interest located close to the conference site.

Sounds like fun but I would have to last minute it and peek thru the keyhole if necessary.
Only been to Chetumal from Belize in that area so would love to see Merida and a bit more. It’s a wait and see
November!! That’s miles away
Sparks,
I would so love to meet you, I hope you can come.
I’d love to meet you too, Sparks. Jonna, I need to check the race calendar – November is when the running starts up. Also, my busiest days are weekend days and honestly, I’ve go no interest in pimping my blog so I’d just be there to schmooze.
Well, there is a 10K that weekend in Merida but I was planning on running the 21K Tres Culturas the weekend before so I’d love to pop over, especially to meet everyone. Looking forward to it!
