Behold 2012 is embracing new media and highlighting the vibrant Catholic women’s blogosphere.   We call it “Meet the Bloggers.”

Prominent Catholic women bloggers will be at the conference, available to meet Behold attendees and chat about their blogs, books and other topics.  In addition, we’ll be brainstorming ideas with these new media women for how to incorporate blogging, podcasts and new media more fully into future years.
