We're thrilled to announce that BlogFest '13 will take place on Saturday, 9th November at the suitably swish Kings Place in central London.

This year's BlogFest will be another glittering celebration of all there is to love about blogging, in the company of some of the most talented writers and bloggers around. So, whether you're a talented newbie or a seasoned hand - or a non-blogger who just wants to take part in some cracking discussions and debates - join us!

We'll have a high-octane programme, packed with fabulous speakers, gripping panel sessions and bespoke advice, to help you get the most from what you post. We'll hear from Dr Robert Winston, Prof Tanya Byron, and Richard Bacon, with style maven Louise Mensch and whip-smart commentator Glosswitch adding zest to the mix. Blogging dynamos A Girl Called Jack, Mammasaurus and Mummy Barrow will be sharing their blogging know-how, and we'll be announcing more speakers shortly - so Book now for a great Early Bird deal. But hurry, last year's tickets sold out in three weeks!

If you came to BlogFest '12, we'd love to see you again! Do share your memories here on the thread to give newbies a feel for the day - and if you didn't come last year but would like to join us in November, here's the place to post your wibbles questions, and connect with fellow attendees. Or take to Twitter, using the hashtag #blogfest.

Roll on BlogFest '13!

Hello both !

As FiveHoursSleep says, there were lots of opps for meeting and chatting last year, and we intend this year to be just as sociable.

There'll be coffee and pastries mid-morning, a delicious lunch in the middle of the programme, and a chance to unwind, mingle and discuss at the drinks reception at the end of the day.

Last year was brilliant - loads of bloggers who didn't know each other from Adam chatting over the proceedings and forging new friendships. This year we're mulling ways to help first-timers feel even more at home - including an 'introduce yourself' linky in the weeks leading up to the 'Fest, and a special 'talk to me, I'm new too' thingy on the badges. As always your ideas are very welcome, so do shout if you've got any thoughts about how we can make everyone feel at home, and we'll add them to our mulling list.

Oh what a shame PetiteRaleuse - we'd love to have seen you there. And you can always start blogging again?

Hurrah!

Hi TheLondonMum - sorry we missed your message earlier.

There really will be something for everyone, whatever stage of blogging you are at. If you're still fairly new to it all, sessions that might be of interest include social media for beginners, writing skills, using images to boost your posts plus there's chance to ask blogging experts for tips in Quick Fixes and the Blog Clinic.

We also hope you'd enjoy some of the great discussions taking place throughout the day and the chance to meet some other bloggers. Last year was a real social event and we're sure this one will be the same. We do hope you'll join us!

Hi TheTwistedYarn - you're in luck! Still a few tickets left to buy, if you're quick!

You can attend any of the sessions throughout the day - and if you find two topics that take your fancy are clashing, you can book a slot with one of the experts in our Blog Cinic to fill in any gaps! (For example, the wonderful Carrie & Darren who are giving the photography session will also be available to chat one-on-one.)

No need to worry about not knowing anyone either - there's plenty of people in the same boat and they're a friendly bunch Grin. We hope to see you on Saturday!
