So this week I attend Reviews Retreat 2012. People wonder what we do at these “blogging” conferences. It is like a veil of secrecy.. do we all just sit around and blog?? do we talk to each other on twitter even though we are across the room (sometimes). It is a ton of fun to connect with online friends and learn from other people who do what you do. So here is glimpse of what happens at a Social Media Blogging Conference.
10 things you see at Blogging Conferences
- Speakers … Like/or Ted Rubin
- Self portrait photos pictures taken by subject Like @MommyBknowsBest and @SAHMsCrazyLife
- People Multi-tasking listen and check email Thanks @mommyniri.. also people are also refer to as there twitter handles (aka I am know as @babypop)
- Sponsored food thanks Musselmans
- Shoes and alot of super cute ones
- Mom own and created Sponsors showing the passion for the product @collegesavingsdolls
- Tops of heads many social people tweet and text all the time; no one minds
- Eager to please Hotel Staff… lets face it any hotel that host a blogging social media conference is a great company because that is a lot of influencers in one place- Thanks to Great Wolf Lodge NC for being amazing
- PJs and Hashtags @MommyBKnowsBest, @staceyinatlanta, @sweetsadiemarie, @babypop
- Dedicated Conference Directors and Staff to make sure everyone is happy.
The Reviews retreat was a great conference. To see more of my conference photos please check out my flickr page for Reviewers Retreat.
