The ConvergeSouth Blogging Conference is next weekend, held right chere in my back yard. I’m scheduled to make an appearance. Come on out, y’all, ya hear? Seriuosly though if you’re remotely interested in bold new medium and have money to blow on gas/air fare , come check it out.

A group of Greensboro volunteers recently announced that Greensboro has organized to host the inaugural year’s edition of ConvergeSouth, the South’s first free conference focused on moving North Carolina toward breakthroughs in creativity and diversity on the Internet. Exploring the digital revolution in publishing and expression, ConvergeSouth focuses on radical digital publishing and entertainment. A two-day event on the campus of historic NC A&T State University, ConvergeSouth will focus on journalism and multimedia “web blogging” for everyone. Additional ConvergeSouth features include a nationally-known keynote speaker, multimedia and music in multiple downtown venues to which the entire community is invited.
