According to the release about Salon LGBTQ, "This gay and lesbian social media conference meets a notable gap in the technology conference industry. While other niche conferences serve different communities, no large-scale open registration event has been held with an LGBTQ focus despite the immense power and reach of online gay and lesbian blogs and publications. Salon LGBTQ will provide training, parties and networking opportunities to support the continued strength and growth of the queer blogosphere."
