Greetings from the YearlyKos Convention!

‘Tis the season to treat yourself to a groundbreaking unification of the Netroots! Don’t be a Grinch; register for the second annual YearlyKos Convention today which takes place August 2 – 5, 2007 at the McCormick Place Convention Center in Chicago, Illinois. Because when summer heats up and the rest of us are blogging from Chi-Town, you won't want to be singing the blues all by yourself. And really, what better gift can you give your favorite progressive than a registration to the YearlyKos Convention?

There’s so much more. You can donate (consider making a donation in honor of a fellow progressive), volunteer, shop in our online store, and encourage your friends and colleagues towards massively effective sponsorships and participation in our gigantic Exhibit Hall.

You can throw a progressive posse together and come en masse! There are so many ways to contribute and participate. This is the Netroots, after all, and we need a few (thousand) good progressives!

YearlyKos Convention '07 Will Rock!

Are you sitting down? Because when you behold details of the new and improved YearlyKos Convention 2007 in all its glory, you might just pass out. Got your smelling salts? Please proceed...

We Heart Our Sponsors and Exhibitors

Last year’s generous sponsors enjoyed an almost obscene amount of media and community exposure, and our exhibitors were happily positioned in front of a deluge of active and passionate progressives.

This year, we're expecting even MORE mayhem, MORE media and MORE masses, so make sure that your company or organization doesn't miss this incredible opportunity.

Because interest was so great in 2006 (we had to create an actual waiting list for exhibitors), we've planned for a mega-Exhibit Hall that will be open and operational during peak Convention hours.

Too, we've expanded our sponsorship opportunities and already have several commitments and many interested parties, so don't hesitate to contact us soon.

What can we say? We're hot like butta. And we can’t wait to work with you.

Our convention is not possible without the support of generous sponsors like the National Education Association.

Exhibitors: For information about becoming an exhibitor, please contact us via our contact form and select the exhibitors category.

Sponsorship: If your company or organization is interested in becoming a sponsor, please contact us via our contact form and select the sponsorship category.

unConventional: Buy Your Copy Today!

Want to relive the highs of last year’s historic first gathering of the Netroots? Want to get a taste of amazing things to come at YearlyKos Convention ’07? Then order your copy of unConventional today.

Even Hunter was blown away! That will be clear as you read his raw reactions to defining moments like Retired General Wesley Clark standing on that stool at a club in the Hard Rock Casino galvanizing the Netroops.

Historic essays by the likes of Ambassador Joe Wilson (a man who was having a total blast last year) and cartoonist Tom Tomorrow simply won't be found anywhere else. You can’t really bottle up misty memories in the corners of your mind, but thankfully you can bind them in an e-book and sell them online.

Our Friends, the National Conference for Media Reform

Mark your calendars and register today: the National Conference for Media Reform is coming to Memphis this January 12-14! Join thousands of activists, bloggers, citizen journalists, indy media makers and political organizers as they gather to address making media reform and Internet freedom winnable political issues in 2007 and beyond. It’s an event for anyone who is concerned about the current state of our media and committed to working together for change.

The conference will kick-off with a blowout “Party for the Future” the night of Jan. 11 hosted by the SavetheInternet Coalition and continue with a phenomenal weekend of more than 70 interactive panels, film screenings, activist trainings, blogger briefings, online organizing workshops and rousing speeches led by Jesse Jackson, Arianna Huffington, Davey D, Bill Moyers, Matt Stoller, Helen Thomas, MoveOn, Media Matters and many more.

Don’t miss one of the most energizing events of 2007. See you in Memphis, y’all!
