#BlogChat - #BlogChat is one of the most popular chats on Twitter, led by Mack Collier every Sunday night at 6 p.m. PDT. Collier is bringing #BlogChat to BlogWorld in a LIVE format instead of online.

Networking Breakfasts – BlogWorld kicks off each morning with a networking breakfast where attendees can connect with each other and mingle with speakers, exhibitors and sponsors.

Hands-On Workshops – BlogWorld introduces hands-on workshops where attendees will do more than just listen, they will put the practices they are learning into play on location. Planned workshop topics include: SEO, webinars, public speaking, corporate blogging, photography, video, humor writing, successful Facebook pages, real-time content creation, content marketing and more.

Revamped Virtual Ticket - The Virtual Ticket has been improved so users feel as close to being at BlogWorld as possible. It includes more than 100 hours of session recordings and will feature Johnny B. Truant, a big-personality blogger and creator of the new Virtual Ticket, as the Virtual Emcee. In addition to the session recordings and streaming coverage of keynotes and evening networking parties, Truant will host exclusive interviews with speakers not even available to live attendees, as well as provide behind-the-scenes footage and backstage access to BlogWorld.

The Virtual Ticket is a great substitute for people unable to attend BlogWorld. It is also a valuable add-on for conference badge holders, because is allows them to experience sessions they may have missed and revisit those they found particularly engaging.
