After a year off, the Southeast’s first Bloggercon is back to celebrating Creativity Online for Everyone.

Mark your calendars for October 1 and 2, 2010 and set your Google Maps for downtown Greensboro, NC.

ConvergeSouth 2010 will bring together social media newbies, social networking strategists and experts willing to share their stories and advice.
