The BlogHer Conference '05 is taking place at the Network Meeting Center in the TechMart in Santa Clara, CA. Location map.

BlogHer Conference '05 will be the first of its kind, an opportunity for the female blogging community to meet in person. It will set the agenda for future BlogHer networking and enhance women's influence in the blog community.
