Wonder if there aren’t enough butts in the chairs for this Blog Business Summit conference or if this is just a very smart marketing idea because now a “limited number” of bloggers can save $400 off this two-day event:

If you’re a blogger and want to attend the conference, we have a limited number of seats available for just $395.00. All you have to do is post a mention of the conference on your site, (with a link or the BBS 05 badges) … During checkout, just enter the URI for your post when prompted.

I was reminded of this conference from reading Scoble’s blog this morning as it was already in my bookmarks under: seriously consider. I don’t have time at the moment (today’s our radio show day) to get into this blogging conference like I did for the AMA, but I do have some detailed thoughts about this conference, the scheduled speakers, and the proposed subject matter. 

I have to review my schedule because I know that I already had to turn down one Ziff Davis business meeting in January because of schedule conflicts and being this event is on a Monday/Tuesday it will be particularly difficult because our office is closed on the weekends and Monday is typically our busiest work day, but if I am able to swing this, then I would like to be at this conference – especially at the discounted price. However, with being gone for a week for Internext and CES January 2005 it is going to be an exceedingly busy month. Oh, and BTW, I like the fact that Blog Business Summit actually has a blog. Sort of makes sense, doesn’t it?
