The Blog Business Summit conference is coming up on September 17-19 in Chicago.  The focus of the first day is a workshop, and the next two days is a conference event.  It looks like it will be great – covering topics from blogging for dollars to effective blogger engagement as well as new and social media and corporate blogging.

The speaker line-up also looks strong, with the following presenters:

• Padmasree Warrior, Executive Vice President and CTO, Motorola
• Robert Scoble, VP Media Development, PodTech.net
• Andru Edwards, CEO, Gear Live Media
• Kevin O’Keefe, Principal, LexBlog
• Buzz Bruggeman, CEO, Activewords

Unfortunately, I’m unable to go, but I look forward to hearing how it goes.  If you’re planning to register, type in discount code: P57CHI to receive a $100 discount.
