Blogger Conferences

This weekend I'm attending my very first blogger conference, the Houston Blogger Symposium.  I'm attending with friends Allison, Sara & Darcy...plus tons of online friends I can't wait to meet in person!  This is probably the best way for me to get my feet wet since this is a local, half day conference with around 50 people in attendance.  Not too terribly overwhelming. 

I feel like I'm somewhat prepared with my new blog business cards, but what else does one do to prep for one of these? 

And most importantly, what does one wear???

I need two outfits: one for the pre-party mixer tomorrow night at Langford  Market in Rice Village and another for the actual conference at Hotel ZaZa.  Help!

I also recently signed up for BlissDom 2013 in Dallas, TX on March 21-13.  This conference will be much larger.  I'm excited to attend with Ashley, especially since we don't live in the same city anymore...it will be great to catchup plus attend the conference together.  Besides being my bestie, Ashley was the one who introduced me to this awesome blogging world (even helping me setup my first blog, Life's a Beach, and designing all of my headers and backgrounds) so it seems appropriate that we are attending together.  I can't think about how stressed I will be to choose outfits for that one!

In the past BlissDom was held in Nashville.  I was jealous in past years reading about other bloggers' fun experiences.  I never felt like my blog was "big" enough to justify flying out of state for a conference.  But this year...4 hour drive?  No brainer! So excited!!!

P.S.  Laura...go signup now and we can check that off your list!
