The world changes so fast that conferences such as the Dad 2.0 Summit helps people keep their bearing. The idea of the modern dad is especially difficult to pin down since more men are continuing to defy stereotypes by taking active roles in their children’s lives, making day-to-day household purchasing decisions -- all the while chronicling these experiences online.
As written on the site, "The Dad 2.0 Summit is an open conversation about the commercial power of dads online, as well as an opportunity to learn the tools and tactics used by influential bloggers to create high-quality content, build personal brands, and develop viable business models." Not only does it provide a place to discuss the changing voice and perception of modern fatherhood, it also helps mold them into inspirational influencers.
