The Blogosphere's Conference: August 9th - 11th, 2007

Schedule & Speakers

The Gnomedex schedule will continue to evolve over time.

In 2006, we had not announced a single speaker or sponsor before half of our seats were sold - and the Gnomedex keynote presentation remained a secret until all of our passes had been purchased.

We believe that speakers and presentations are important, but we also realize that the true value of a conference is in its attendees. We are currently looking for mainstage presenters who can lead a fruitful discussion and share insight that we may not have already heard elsewhere.

Since we only have a single-track schedule to fill, these decisions are crucial. We're looking for the industry's best and brightest, and will make announcements as soon as our hopefuls commit.

  • All Names, Sessions, and Times Subject to Change
  • Gnomedex is a single-track conference
  • Sponsors are not awarded speaking slots
  • We are still looking for sponsors to help cover our costs
