Blog Conference Prep: Tips from Around the Blogosphere

blissdom tipsFor the past few weeks, Ashley and I have been working on a Blog Conference Prep series. Some of our tips specifically for the upcoming Blissdom conference, but most that can be applied to any blog conference that you may be attending. If you have missed any in this series, you can catch up here:

  • How to anticipate conference costs
  • How to get a conference sponsor
  • How to prep your blog for a conference
  • How to prep your life for a conference
  • How to talk to brands
  • How to get over your fear of talking to other bloggers
  • 7 must-pack items for your room
  • Tote bag necessities

There are many other fabulous conference tips posts out there and we thought we’d direct you to some of those, too!

In case you are wondering if a blog conference is worthwhile, Tip Junkie shares 10 reasons why you should go to a blog conference.

Have you been to Blissdom before? Or have you been to bunch of conferences and you feel like a pro? I love this post from Charlene Chronicles, which reminds conference alumni of what they should be doing during a conference to help newbies feel welcome.

Blissdom is held at the Opryland hotel. And it is HUGE. I had heard that before I went, but until you actually get there and see the massiveness that it is, you don’t really understand. Check out some tips about the Opryland. And don’t miss part 2, too! AND there is a free app for the hotel that you can download.

Hear what Blissdom newbie Sweet Phenomena has to say about her goals for Blissdom. I think every newbie should have this list!

I know a big concern for everyone is what to wear to Blissdom. Check out Simple Mom’s post about it.  She breaks it down into a very easy-to-follow manner.

Actually, I don’t think there can ever be enough what-to-wear posts! Come back next week when we’ll give your our take on that, too!

Be sure to check out Ashley’s post today for even more helpful Blissdom posts.

    Great roundup of BlissDom posts! I wrote one, too:

    How to Have an Awesome Conference Experience http://www.liveandlovework.com/2012/01/20/have-an-awesome-conference-experience/

    As I was preparing myself for BlissDom, I decided it would be a good topic for a blog post!

    Thanks for rounding up all these great posts. I’ve really been enjoying your Conference Tips series!

    If I was going to Blissdom I would wear a dyed wedding gown. Just in case that’s what everybody else decided to wear. 

    I hate to stand out.

    Wish I were going to Blissdom.  So many of my blog friends will be there!  All of my money is going toward tuition for my Gifted Endorsement this year, though.  It never fails to amaze me how much money I end up spending on professional development to keep my teaching certificate current.  Anyway, great advice for whenever I do make it to a conference, thanks!
