And speaking!

And if you’re on the fence about going, Mayhem and I want to tell you that we think you’d really enjoy it too!

First things first, Cedar Point is the host with the most and I’ve never attended a conference that was MORE perfect for families to attend!

Sure the rides are intense. (Even intense looking!)

But so are the views….

And things will be pretty spooktacular too at Hotel Breakers…

But truthfully, I’m an alum of Bloggy Conference. I’ve been attending since the inaugural year in 2011 and cannot begin to explain how valuable the information and relationships built at BloggyCon have been for me.

I served as the official photographer the first year. And came back as a speaker the past two years.

And with as crazy as this year has been for us, I was excited to put Bloggy Conference on our calendar again this year. It’s honestly a bit like coming home. I’ve met some seriously incredible people over the past few years and SO MANY of them have gone on to do amazing things with their blogs.

That’s Erin. She’s one of the sweetest gals you’ll ever meet.

And Nedra … she’s by far the most adventurous!

And Sharon – she’s an incredible photographer AND person!

Then there’s the speaker line up.

Good gracious, just go have a look for yourself.

My only request is that Tiffany not schedule my session at the same time as Dan. Last year I spoke at the same time as Dan, and I’m convinced that’s the reason no one wanted to hear me chat about Instagram.  (Not true. I had an audience, but Dan had a PACKED HOUSE. Rightfully so, btw.) Besides, I want need to sit in on some of that good stuff.

Also, do you know Amiyrah? I don’t have an image of her, but as long as she’s there and not delivering that baby she’s due with, I’ll remedy that 🙂 I could go on and on and on and never mention ALL the wonderful and talented people you’ll meet.

Long story short, get off the fence and buy your ticket. And book a room.

You’ll learn SO much, build so many relationships, and even have a great opportunity for reflection.

And your family will love it too, regardless of age. There is literally something for everyone at Cedar Point.

I have a personal goal this year of getting on a ride that scares the hell out of me.

There are plenty to choose from at CP, so that shouldn’t be a problem. But since Keith will be on Mayhem-duty, I need one of you to go with me.

Who’s up for the challenge?

In case it’s not painfully obvious, I’m REALLY looking forward to this.

Having been pushed completely out of my comfort zone this year has been awesome, and at the same time, I’m feeling the need for some familiarity.

I need to catch up with friends and I need to sit in rooms soaking up the knowledge that gets shared so freely in a space like Bloggy Conference.

So if you’re looking for a conference: where you’re guaranteed to pick up great new skills that you can put into use immediately, in a setting that’s absolutely perfect for bringing along the family (or not if you just want to hang with friends), and the size is much less intimidating than one of those BIG conferences …  then my pumpkin headed skeleton friends are pointing you in the right direction 😉

See you in September!
