According to their website, "Salon LGBTQ is the first national LGBTQ social media conference, a long-awaited open event for leading voices in the social media world and newcomers alike. Get ready for a catalyzing dialogue between media producers, writers, editors, bloggers, videographers, photographers, designers, curators and marketers. It's us, the real us, together, in real time, for sessions, experiences and conversations that change everything."

And it's about time!  With all that's going on today in the world of social media, there should definitely be a gathering of the gay minds somewhere.  And what better place than Atlanta?  Conveniently located within driving distance from most of the other major cities in the Southeast [Nashville, Birmingham, Charlotte, Knoxville, etc.], Atlanta is also home to innumerable tech startups, TV and radio networks and publishing empires.  The 'local' airport is consistently ranked as the world's busiest, and Atlanta's annual Pride celebration ranks among the best in the world [and coincidentally occurs the week before SalonLGBTQ this year].  
But enough about the city.  The important thing here is the conference.  Celebrating the brilliance of LGBTQ 'digital creatives' [including writers, photographers, videographers, advocates, activists, bloggers, marketers and entertainers] this event is sure to enlighten and empower all who attend.  
Check out their website [www.SalonLGBTQ.com].  Read about their speakers.  And plan now to attend.  How else are you going to get to the top of your game?
