In less than 24 hours SOBCon 07 will start in Chicago. People have already begun to find their way in to town. Planes have been boarded. Trains have been enjoyed. Cars are traveling across country as SOBs gather to meet, learn, and enjoy each other's company.
For various reasons, many of us won't be attending. But, Carolyn Manning of Thoughts & Philosophies has put together a virtual conference for our edification. Getting It Together will cover topics including
- Scheduling your best life
- Prioritizing before you go crazy
- Todays urgencies often mean nothing tomorrow
- Long-term projects need short-term attention
- Dismissing the junk
- Siesta time
There will be two sessions, so no matter where you are in the world, you can attend, participate, and get to know some of your fellow bloggers. The first session begins at 12 Noon EDT Friday, May 11 (2:00AM Australian time Saturday, May 12). The second session begins at 10:00PM EDT Friday, May 11 (12 Noon Australian time Saturday, May 12). Check the link above for the exact schedule.
Moderators come from all over the world, and all over the blogging landscape. They include
- Klearchos Kapoutsis of Klearchos Guide to the Galaxy
- Nneka of the Balanced Life Center
- Chris Owen of the Pink Apple Connections
- Leah Maclean of Working Solo
- Carma Dutra of Carmas Window
- Bes Zain of The Reasoner

- TechZ of Techz Online
- Kirsten Harrel of the Think Positive! Blog
- and, of course, me, Rick Cockrum
So please, come join Getting It Together at Thoughts & Philosophies. Share your thoughts, experiences, and views on the topics that interest you. These aren't blog posts. They aren't listening to a speaker, then asking questions. They're roundtable discussions. Let's see what we can learn from each other.
