Hot on the heals of blogging from the Forrester Marketing Forum, I will be at WOMBAT in New Orleans the first of this week. Keeping with my 'How to Blog a Conference' guidelines, I spent some time today prepping many of the posts I will be writing.

What does prepping mean?

Well WOMMA has got the event-blogging thing down to a science. Last week I received a schedule of the sessions I will be attending/blogging. With that schedule I have already created drafts of the session posts. These drafts have the title, categories, tags already saved. I also write a short intro listing all the speakers/panelists and link up any blogs/companies as needed.

Spending about 30-45 minutes today saves all that time during the event. Having a session post prepped ahead of time allows me to concentrate on the speakers and photography as soon as the session gets started. I don't have to fumble to get everybody's name/links done.

Why the warning for a title? Well in the prep I see that I will be posting close to 20 scheduled items during the event. That number will probably increase during the course of the event though :-)
