MamaLaw Media Group Opens Registration and Selects The Ritz-Carlton, South Beach for Blogalicious 2010
January 12, 2010
The countdown to Blogalicious 2010 began last October when MamaLaw Media Group, the conference founders and organizers, announced Miami, Florida as its destination for Blogalicious 2010. The announcement was made during the closing session at the inaugural Blogalicious 2009 and was received with joyful cheers by the over 175 attendees in the room.
In search for the perfect hotel, the founders visited Miami last month to scout hotels that would adequately provide that perfect, “Blogalicious” atmosphere. After narrowing the choices down to three, MMG utilized social media to poll its audience to determine the desired location desired by its audience. Using Twitter, blogs, and Facebook, MMG directed its audience to an online poll where fans could vote on their location of choice.
The campaign generated buzz and excitement throughout the blogosphere. The founders received emails and messages from anxious bloggers wanting to know which location was chosen. After a few weeks of deliberation, MMG selected The Ritz Carlton, South Beach. Nyasha Smith, Partner of MMG, stated yesterday that “[t]he Ritz Carlton offers the chic sophistication that we want for our attendees. We are pleased that the Ritz understands that Blogalicious will attract many key influencers in the social media space to their hotel.” Smith adds that, “the Ritz is poised to pamper our attendees all at a reasonable price.”

November 24, 2009
Watch Blogalicious 2009 attendees on MomTV as they support Ronald McDonald House Charities’ (RMHC) commitment to children, their families and to making the world a better and more caring place. The on-site interviews sponsored by RMHC were conducted by Maria Bailey, CEO of BSM Media. Ms. Bailey views the interviews as “an example of engaging moms in a 2.0 way that creates a relevant dialogue and allow these moms to continue the conversation.” Ms. Bailey spoke with influential women bloggers of color such as novelist, Denene Millner of My Brown Baby, and Ms. Latina of Latina on a Mission about their perspective on mom blogging.
For 35 years, RMHC has supported programs that directly improve the health and well being of children by providing a bridge to quality health care. With the approach of McHappy Day on November 20, RMHC is endeavoring to spread the word about the Charity using social media. On Facebook, fans can download the “Give a Hand® for Ronald McDonald House Charities” online widget application, and McDonald’s will donate $1 for each of the first 35,000 Hands shared online. Followers can link to the RMHC web site, or follow the Charity on Twitter using the #McHappyDay hash tag.
