Sports Bloggers

This is an opportunity not just to meet and hang out with some of the people you’ve read over the years, but it’s also a chance to improve your own blog through new connections, ideas, and media applications. Blogs With Balls was created with you in mind, looking to support sports bloggers as the next generation of sports opinion leaders. Use this event to tap into your site’s full potential for revenue and growth. Also, we hear you sports bloggers like “after-parties.” If all this doesn’t get you, we’re told there are things to do in New York City, even on a Saturday night.

Sports Fans

This is your chance to interact with the new generation of sports media, and put a face to the names you’ve been reading for years, months, or maybe even days. Now more than ever, fans drive content and steer online communities. Blogs With Balls gives you the inside view of the new sports media and access to those who turn the mirror on traditional sports media, create communities for fans to celebrate victory, lament defeat, and demand those yahoos in the front office be strung up by their thumbs.

Journalists

Tired of trying to convince your editor to ramp up your print publication’s online content and develop a more informal voice that promotes reader interaction? Blogs With Balls enthusiastically supports journalists’ attendance for this very reason. Hear firsthand from other successful print journalists with ’sports blog cred’ – from how they started, to what the limitations and opportunities are, to what they want to do next.

Students

For aspiring writers, journalists, or even die-hard fans, Blogs With Balls is a great opportunity to get a thorough preview about the opportunities in a developing sector of media – possibly for credit! It’s also a great networking and educational opportunity to pick the brains of people currently working in your prospective field.
