Tech, cooking, startups, sci-fi, culture, social media, gadgets, communities, design, & more. Attendees themselves host sessions on topics of interest; everyone generally has their choice of about 50 different sessions each day (2 day event), plus miscellaneous networking and conversations.

I'm about to graduate from college. I know it has a dominant medical technology sector there, but I don't know what other tech related activities are going on prominently there. I'm also not an American citizen too (as I'm from Canada), so that would pose another challenge in terms of tackling some requirements. I'm investigating many location options as we speak. Would be nice to hear from you.

Jessie A Young Looking at internet marketing positions around Boston - I seem to have all of the qualifications aside from blogging experience. Guess I should get on that! The question is: what to write about?

Teach people something you know whether it's meditation, marketing or studying tips.

I'd personally recommend against blogging about a heated political race. In my experience (I've lived in Boston 7 years), people are especially passionate about politics around here and maybe that's not the safest route when you're just trying to establish yourself.

Good Luck.

Jessie, I think you might have just found your blogging topic base.

You said you are somewhat new to Boston, you could write about new areas you discover and like to spend time at, compare Boston to where you prevously lived, or just general observations about the world around you. While this might not seem ideal, I think it would be an interesting read and it might come easy to ou as I am sure you have formed some opinions about your newer surroundings. Where did you migrate from?
