Lunchtime hostess: Iota

We're pleased to announce another blogger leading a lunchtim table discussion: this one about Identity and Anonymity led by Iota.

Iota is a mum of 3, a Brit in the US, and increasingly feels able to describe herself as a writer.

“Blogging has changed me, and the way I think about myself. What about you? At my table, we might talk about creating a blog identity, or boundaries, or whether anonymity is feasible, or the phenomenon of cyber friendships. Mine is definitely the chill-out table, where you can ponder about blogging.”

You don't have to sign up in advance. Just grab a seat at Iota's table and join the discussion at lunch.

Lunchtime hostess: Nadine Hill

As you may know from looking at the recently updated conference schedule, we wanted to do something a bit different at lunchtime. This idea was actually suggested by a mummy blogger: have themed tables at lunch with different topics to get the conversation going, break the ice and address topics that we haven't been able to fit into the jam-packed schedule. It's all very friendly and relaxed.

We're delighted that Nadine Hill will be one of our Table Hostesses and her table will be tackling that very important issue of How Do You Find Time to Blog? Here's a bit more about Nadine:

Nadine Hill has a secret to share. Busy mums CAN get it all done & still find ‘Me time’! Nadine (aka Time Management Mum) is the owner of a virtual receptionist business, a best-selling author, a speaker and a ‘hands on’ mum of two who will lead a discussion about “The Blog-Life Balance”. Her next book, entitled “I Don’t Have Time... To Write”, is due out in September.
