In March 26-28, 2007, a conference about weblogs and social media will take place in Colorado. The conference is named "International Conference on Weblogs and Social Media"
While weblogs, seem to get a prime place in the conference name, we will be there to remind people that the main player in social media was always, and still is, the Boardscape 
A little about the conference from the official conference site:
| Quote: |
Recent years have seen a flourishing of social media - the promise of the WWW coming to fruition. Across the world, individuals can share opinions, experiences and expertise at the push of a button. There has been a fundamental shift thanks to significant advances in the ease of publishing content. Creating web content was for years the domain of tech-savvy people; now the barrier has been torn down.
Perhaps the most visible among the successes of social media in recent years is the blogosphere. Tens of thousands of new blogs are created every day; blog content is becoming ubiquitous, surfacing in news portals, search results and corporate public relations. Even those who are unaware of the blogosphere are still influenced by its content. Although blogs are highly visible currently, other forms of conversational spaces continue to flourish, especially message boards, mailing lists, review sites and Usenet.
Social media covers all forms of sharing: from photos, to videos, to recommendations. In the past few years, many examples of social media have become hugely successful. Flickr is a premier photo sharing site; del.icio.us has become a touchstone for sharing recommendations of websites; Web 2.0 applications in general abound with newcomers in the social media space.
One of the fascinating aspects of social media has been the drive from within to study the ecology as it evolves. People act at once as creators, observers and influencers of the space in which they participate. At the same time, businesses are quickly grasping the potential benefit to attending to the new space of social media. Monitoring the aggregate trends and opinions revealed by social media provides valuable insight to a number of business applications: marketing intelligence, competitive intelligence.

The conference is sure to be an interesting one.

You should come to Notacon, too! It's at the end of April, in Cleveland.
Notacon explores the creative and social sides of technology. Boards, wikis, and chat systems are usually among the presentation topics, and this year is no exception.
It's funny that the "conference on weblogs and social media" seems to think that online social interaction is a recent phenomenon! Some of us recognize that Usenet predates TCP/IP itself by several years. (Some of us would offer bonus points in the Anything but Ethernet contest if you implemented message-passing over UUCP!)
I just checked out the ICWSM site. $300 is the cheapest you can get in the door, yow! I got a solicitation some time ago in the mail (I assume they got my info from magazine subscriptions) for another conference about collaboration technology, focusing on wikis. They wanted $800 or so for registration! That's an order of magnitude more than I like to pay for such events, thanks.  I'm sure a lot of people were able to sucker their employers into paying for it, but not me.
I'd be curious to see what these megabuck events are like. Post some photos, eh? |

Will post photos indeed.
As for your observation about online communities not being a recent phenomena, I totally agree. This is also why I found it funny that the title of the conference had weblogs in it But it is just an homage for the latest hype
