Aaron, honestly, the reason I go is that the content is just great. BlogHer finds a lot of new and interesting people to speak instead of a lot of the same speakers you get at the rest of the conferences.

You're the first one who's ever explained it that way (by women, not for women) and as such it makes more sense now. I'd always seen it pitched as a "conference for women". Thanks for the clarification. Elisa, thanks for your comment. You’re the first one who’s ever explained it that way (by women, not for women) and as such it makes more sense now.

BlogHer is an organization whose mission is to create opportunities for women bloggers. As such most of our content isn't actually for women, so much as by women. Men are welcome at our events and on our site. Much of the content isn't gender-specific. You're just going to see women speakers presenting it. (And our survey data Dawn reports above was specifically from a study of women internet users.) Let me know if you have any more questions. Hi Aaron, Elisa from BlogHer here.

I'm looking at the topics covered (sponsor quality, listening, participation, no press releases) and don't see anything that would be any different if you're a man, woman, black, white, purple, etc. I don't have anything <i>against</i> BlogHer, but I don't understand. Can you enlighten me as to how any of that is gender-specific? I don’t get BlogHer.
