"More than gossiping, talking about washing and cooking and sharing parental hints and tips, online communities of mothers are being recognised for the influence they wield. They’re even working as political lobbying groups and quangos."

Shout out to the Huggies bloggers

We've been crazily busy trying to get everything organised for CyberMummy, and the conversations about it on blogs, Twitter and British Mummy Bloggers are buzzing. One of the comments we see a lot is "I want to go CyberMummy but need a sponsor to help me!" We're working on matching up bloggers and potential sponsors. But one company is already sponsoring individuals.

Huggies, one of our Bronze sponsors, is also sending 10 lucky bloggers to take in the sessions, network and raise a glass at the end. (You may already know one of them - they're sporting a badge like the one here.)

We'd love for all you Huggies Bloggers out there to sound off on the post, listing your blog and the link, so we can check you out.

Speakers at CyberMummy: Sally Whittle

Even if you don't know Sally Whittle by name, you have likely heard of some of the projects she's involved in: an index that ranks blogs and a new awards scheme. Whittle will be part of our panel on Influence and Stats, something she knows a bit about.

Whittle is a freelance journalist, media trainer and blogger who has been writing about technology and social media for 12 years. In 2009 she launched her own parenting blog, Who's the Mummy, which hosts the monthly Tots100 index of UK parent blogs, followed by the Great Toy Guide, a collaborative review site written by parent bloggers.

Whittle recently launched The MADs, the UK's first national award scheme for parent bloggers. When not running the MADs or the Tots100, Sally writes for various UK newspapers and corporate clients, providing copywriting, editing and blogging services. In 2011, Sally would quite like to take a day off.

Catch Sally at the 12 o'clock panel in the main room!

Speakers at CyberMummy: Justine Roberts

If you read the newspapers or listen to the radio or have ever gone online in your life as a parent, you have probably heard the amazing story of how Mumsnet began as a little mummy brainchild to become one of the most influential voices in British parenting today. But have you heard the secrets of how it got that way? If you want to, don't miss the Audience and Statistics session before lunch, where Justine Roberts will be speaking.

Roberts is the Founder and CEO of Mumsnet, an online community of parents sharing advice, support and product recommendations. Over the last ten years Mumsnet has grown into the UK’s leading social network for mums with 1,000,000 monthly unique visitors.

Before that she wrote about football and cricket for the Daily Telegraph and before that, a long time ago, she was a strategist for SG Warburg.

Justine studied Politics, Philosophy and Economics at New College, Oxford, is a mother of four - eleven-year old identical twins – Lola and Scarlet – Jake, who is seven, and Jesse, four (she thinks).

Welcome, Justine - we're thrilled to have you onboard for the conference!
