We are excited to be sending one of our own (Tammy Lynn Gilmore, who coordinates Press & Publicity for SXSW Interactive) to her very first BlogHer conference. This year’s event runs from Friday through Sunday at the Westin St. Francis Hotel in San Francisco. BlogHer is always a SXSWi favorite because it’s the place where many of our favorite personal publishers come to life. For 2008, the theme is Reach! and the closing keynote speakers will be Stephanie Klein and former SXSW Interactive festival speaker Heather Armstrong (pictured above) talking about what it’s like to “Live the Truman Show". BlogHer appeals to anyone and everyone who’s interested in any kind of blogging, from the personal to the professional to the political. Check the conference website for more information
