BlogWorld Expo and New Media Expo Merge

Two of the biggest conferences for New Media practitioners and independent content producers yesterday announced a merger. The BlogWorld Expo and the New Media Expo are merging into one “mega new media event.” As someone who considers himself a bit of a fanboy for New Media, this is the most interesting major development for my area of interest I’ve seen in a while.

The announcement was made yesterday on the BlogWorldExpo news blog, and went to great detail to describe ostrow-hartline-bwethe personal history between BWE founder Rick Calvert and PNME founder Tim The union is a testament to the growth of both Blogging and Podcasting to a much larger world only best described by the term “New Media,” as well as the phenomenal success of the conferences themselves.

The new event will be called “BlogWorld & New Media Expo 2009,” and presumably both conference websites will be good places to check for further information (www.blogworldexpo.com and www.newmediaexpo.com).
