Ever since I started blogging in 2010, I’ve always
been curious about attending a blogger conference. Have any of you attended a blogger conference
before? For the past few years, I
continued to hear about one conference more frequently over other well-known
conferences. I’m talking about BlogHer, a
cross-platform media network and publisher for women. I've
read numerous posts from previous BlogHer conference attendees and I’ve seen
some notable photos of the conference sessions and legendary parties. Each time I read a reference about the
BlogHer conferences, I've made a mental note to add it on my “to do” list.
Well last month, I finally decided
to register for the 10th Annual BlogHer Conference in San
Jose, CA from July 24 -26, 2014. I’m pretty excited about attending my first
blogger conference because it is one of the largest events for bloggers
and social media influencers in the nation. They also have some
outstanding keynote speakers lined up this year such as Arianna Huffington, Kerry Washington,
Jenny Lawson, Tig Notaro, the 10x10 presenters, and the Voices of the Year.
Although
I’m excited, I also have a little anxiety because I’m not sure what to
expect. I think my main issue is that as
of right now I don’t know anyone else attending, so I’m hoping that I don’t
regret my decision. I have to remind
myself of the main reasons why I signed up.
I hope that I’ll gain some helpful tips to enhance my blog, learn some general
information to share with my readers and to meet some amazing new bloggers!

all ears.
I'm undecided about BlogHer, but I did attend the 2011 Financial Bloggers conference and signed up again for this year. Don't worry about not knowing anyone, you will not be alone with that and you will connect with other bloggers. Have fun and if I change my mind I'll let you know!
