so, it's official. i signed up for my first ever blog conference... i will be attending bloggy boot camp in charlotte in may and i am ohh- so- excited! my blogger-turned-in-real-life-friend jenn told me about this day long conference... and i am looking forward to seeing her again as well as meeting {two of my other fave bloggers} emily and ashley in real life!
so i've been thinking on what i need to get to prepare myself to get the most out of this conference, and here's the list i have come up with so far:
1. a cute notebook to record everything that i will learn...

these are from target last summer, they say "she makes the day brighter. she leaves a little sparkle wherever she goes" and "she's a dreamer, a doer, a thinker. she sees possiblity everywhere".
i am hoping they come out with something equally cute this year!

2. a personalized waterbottle to stay hydrated...
{or maybe i've just been looking for an excuse to buy a monogrammed turvis}
3. probably some new clothes... {as if i need another excuse to go shopping}

who knows what i will actually wear, but i do love this comfy yet stylish look... maxi dresses are my absolute fave!
4. a new tote bag to carry all my essentials...
target has some great options this season! this one is a good go-with-anything bag, but they also have some fun, bright colors and stripe options as well.
5. and last but not least, some business cards to network with my new blogger friends...
obviously, mine will not say "photographer"... but i love the simplistic look of these.
have you ever been to a conference?
ashley wrote this great post on advice for attending a blog conference... but i would love to know if you have any other tips to share.
andddd... if you're a blogger in the southeastern region, it's not too late to sign up... i would love to meet all of your pretty little faces in person!
that is so exciting!
ReplyDeletei haven't been to a blog conference yet. i hope that i'll do it though.
and i think that attending a blog conference is the best excuse to go shopping for a new outfit(s).
I'm just a little too excited about this, I think!! I'm going to post about this same topic later on this week. ha!
ReplyDeleteSooo, wait-I don't have business cards. Do you have some already!?
*Did you see that they are having a cocktail party on Friday night? Are you thinking of going for that and staying Fri/Sat. night!?
OMG I wish I could go!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking about signing up for this! Trying to fit it in my work schedule it seems like it's going to be a blast!
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a great time at the conference!
ReplyDeleteHow fun!! I can't wait to attend my first blog conference! Unfortunately, I have a wedding on that day in Texas so I won't be able to make it, but I hope you have lots of fun and takes awesome notes to share with the rest of us and enjoy some friendly community with other bloggers! :)
ReplyDeleteLucky girl! This sounds like so much fun! (And even if it isn't and you get new clothes for it its a win-win;-))
ReplyDeleteI have that brown bag from Target and I can fit my whole life into it! Love it!
ReplyDeleteSO excited about this!!
ReplyDeleteYour list looks perfect!
You will have so much fun and learn SO much!! I loved BBC experience! So much so that I'm going again this fall! :) But before then, I'm going to Blissdom next weekend (not this coming weekend). Woot Woot! What's nice about BBC is that when you check in, you'll get your name badge and it will have numbers at the bottom. These are your table numbers for each session. It allows you to meet TONS of bloggers! And lots of fun networking! I preferred having a notebook over my laptop, although I can probably type faster than write. I've thought about recording the session on my iPhone since the speakers are mic'ed to help catch things I missed. If I was sitting close enough, I'd take snap shots of the power point slides for later reference as well.
ReplyDeleteIf you get a chance to do any events the night before, definitely try and go. And stay for the party afterwards (although Dallas wasn't a huge party) but it was more fun networking...especially finally getting to hang with Tiffany. ;)
