I’m Going To #BlogHer15 – Wait! I’m Going To BlogHer ?

I’m Going To #BlogHer! I’m Going To BlogHer! I’m Going To BlogHer!  Wait! I’m Going To BlogHer? Okay so I may be just a teeny bit excited about the fact that I am going to #BlogHer15 in a few weeks but I may also be a teeny bit anxious. I have had a BlogHer Conference on my Blogger Wishlist probably since my first keystroke in the awesome world of Blogging and now I can hardly believe that it’s happening.

 

 

The day I was able to Register for BlogHer was honestly one of the most exciting days I’ve had as a Blogger. When I added BlogHer to my wish list I had the stipulation that I be able to pay for the entire Registration on my own from my Blog. I Did It! So as I clicked that Registration button I had a mixture of pride and reservation. Why the reservation you ask? Okay, you didn’t ask but here’s the answer anyways…

“Oh God I have to MEET People!!”

I am not a solo kinda gal. Meaning, I am very introverted. Yes, I know I share, I’m active on social media, I’ve been to a BootCamp and hosted Blog MeetUps for goodness sake – heck I even have a YouTube Channel BUT talking through keystrokes and chatting with a camera all day are totally different than that face to face interaction on such s large scale as BlogHer. I’m usually pretty good once introductions are done but that first ‘Hello‘ that for me is the hardest thing. So when I clicked that button giving me a spot at this year’s BlogHer Conference the first thing I thought was “Oh God I have to MEET People!!”

For nearly 3 weeks that was all I could think of. Yes, there were other Bloggers I knew attending but I didn’t know-know them (yeah folks I just flashed back to High School…lol). So I was about to take a flight, stay in a hotel and socialize with people I’ve only met online.

What In The World Was I Thinking?

So I started out on a mission to Take The Edge Off I was going to find a way to make that initial ‘Hello‘ a bit easier. I joined a few Facebook Groups BlogHer15 Attendees. The first BlogHer15 Awesome Attendees was created by other Attendees to make getting to know each other less stressful and the other was the Official Going To BlogHer Group. I can’t even say how much these two groups have helped me put my nerves to rest ain’t I can just be happy and excited about going.

I also found the BlogHer App which is probably one of the most awesome ideas EVER! I mean if you know me at all you know Apps are a big part of my Happy Place. I have an App for nearly everything!

This App is no different, it not only let’s me create a Profile to connect with other Attendees but I can start planning my BlogHer experience right now! It includes a list of the Exhibitors, Maps of where they will be, Agenda for the Conference, Speakers, News Alerts and So Much MORE!

I have been using this App daily since downloading it and I know that once I arrive in NYC it will most likely be my most valuable tool throughout.

 

 

We Get To Party?

Okay so yeah Blog Conferences are all about learning, connecting, networking…blah blah blah. Get this though! BlogHer is also about being social and getting to know brands and other influencers in natural settings. That means We Get To Party!!

I was in total fan mode when I started to receive emails inviting me to Brand Presentations, Exclusive Events and yup – Parties!

So, now that I have my Registration, Social Connects and even an App to keep me grounded it was time to start scheduling my party time. Here are the ones I plan on giving my full attention…will you be there?
