Our fabulous event planner: No Stone Events

We're busy thinking about next year's CyberMummy and reviewing some of the lessons we learned from this one. One of the biggest lessons is: get a fabulous event planner.

This year we were lucky to have Emma, founder of No Stone Events, handling all the details to make sure the day ran smoothly.

No Stone Events is a boutique events agency with a passion for combining inspirational and extraordinary moments in time with meticulous planning and attention to detail, to create sensational and seamless events for any occasion.

No Stone Events believes passionately that events should move, inspire, unite, and celebrate. We believe in creating engaging events with a long-lasting sense of occasion and purpose, so that clients and guests leave feeling fulfilled and empowered by their experience.

Emma did everything from making sure sponsors had everything they needed to liaising with the hotel to make sure we were all fed, watered and later plied with drink.

If you're thinking of putting on a conference, launch, award presentation, party, dinner, wedding, or family occasion, she's your gal for innovative ideas and high-octane organisation all handled with friendly chirpiness.

The full list of Crowdsourced Keynote posts

Many people have said in the days after CyberMummy that hearing fellow bloggers' posts in the Crowdsourced Keynote was one of the highlights of the day.

We got so many great post nominations that it was difficult to select only those you heard. One nomination in particular was sweet, funny and charming but really worked better as a post to be read rather than read aloud. You didn't hear it on the stage that day but it was Ladybird World's Lord's Prayer (as said by her son) and if you haven't already seen it, go and read it on her blog now.

And, so you can revisit your favourite from the day, here is a full list of the bloggers who closed the conference with such aplomb.

Shireen Babul, Bees on Skis, blogging for 4 years

Holly Ward, It's a Mummy's Life, blogging for 6 months

Sandy Calico, Baby Baby, started blogging in May 2009, before that she didn't even know what a blog was

Antonia Clark aka Iota, Not Wrong Just Different, blogging since May 2007

Vicki Jeffels, Vegemitevix, blogging since last October

Lulu Campbell, Family Affairs and Other Matters, blogging for just over 3 years

Carol Smith, New Mummy, blogging 17 months

Kelly Cheesley, A Place of My Own, blogging for five years

Hannah Gray, Muddling Along Mummy, blogging since April 2009

Hazel Gaynor, Hot Cross Mum, she’s been bogging for 15 months, so she thinks that counts as a blogging equivalent of a toddler

Jen Walshaw aka Mummy Mad, The Mad House, blogging for a year almost to the day

Justine Baxter, The Potty Diaries (Life lessons and potty training from the front line...), blogging for 3 years

Victoria Leather, Modern Dilemma, blogging for 5 months

Maria Jose Ovalle, Mummy's Busy World by Little M, blogging since April this year

CyberMummy: It's a wrap

There were cupcakes and coffee, there were hugs and tears, there were prizes and jokes. On Saturday 3 July more than 175 bloggers descended on the Ibis Earls Court in London and made CyberMummy 2010 a great success.

We had fantastic speakers on the panels, including India Knight, Mumsnet’s Justine Roberts, Judith O’Reilly/Wife in the North, and many many more. We had funny, illuminating and moving speakers at the Crowdsourced Keynote. Most of all we saw old friends from online and made new ones.

Thanks for the kind words and the constructive criticism. We're taking notes. We’re already thinking about next year, so enter your details and we’ll add you to a mailing list for updates (cross our hearts: no spamming or selling your details).

Live-blog from Cyberlabs: SEO Basics & Twitter and Blog-to-Book

There was a lot to pack into this one-hour session on SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) Basics & Twitter, from Charlotte Smith at Glam Media, followed by Robin Harvie from Harper Collins giving some great tips on getting your blog turned into a bestseller. This was my first attempt at live-blogging, so be kind please! Head over to my blog, Young & Younger, for my post summarising this session. If it looks a little ragged around the edges, it's because I've not had a chance to correct all those glaring typos yet.

Congratulations to the Cybermummy organisers for an absolutely fantastic event. I'm already excited about next year's.

Cyber Labs - "You B****!"

Pippa from A Mothers Ramblings again, I was also able to be part in the fantastically titled "You B****! What you can and can't say on your blog" Cyber Lab today where Gayle Trigg from Wragge & Co LLP told us just what we have to be careful with and what we should do if we find ourselves in trouble.

You can see the full post here, but please be warned that I need to spellcheck and make things a little more sensible....
