BlogPaws conferences deliver educational sessions on topics ranging from finding content for your blog, to search engine optimization (SEO), to turning your blog into a business or a book, to holding fund raising events called “Twitter-pawties,” to using specialized contest apps on Facebook, how-tos on Google+, Pinterest, Tout.com, and much more. While a majority of the attendees publish about — or in some cases AS their pets — the topics apply broadly to anyone who wants to learn more about effective use of social media.

Type-A Parent Conference 2013 will be held September 27-29, 2013 at the Atlanta Westin Buckhead (room booking will be available soon at a rate of $149/night). In its fifth year, the conference will continue to feature killer sessions, opportunities to network with bloggers and companies, and some of the brightest speakers in social media.
