Once again, the job of choosing this year’s Dad Blogger Spotlights was an exercise akin to an uphill hike through four feet of chocolate pudding: arduous, but eminently satisfying. You wonderful wordsmiths really brought it this year, and after a review process that really made us eager to hear more of the Stories Not Yet Told, here are the five writers who will be reading their work at the 2017 Dad 2.0 Summit:

• Mike Armstrong | Daddy Realness
• Buzz Bishop | DadCAMP
• Tony Buchsbaum | Today’s Dad
• Mike Cruse | Papa Does Preach
• Tobin Walsh | The Good-Bad Dad

Congratulations and thanks to these men, and the many other men who submitted, all of whom continue to represent the online father community so well with their creative and professional skill.
