It has been such a rainy weekend, and I apologize that these photos aren’t as good as I wish they were. I really wanted to share one of the outfits I wore to Thrive Conference. I wore this for the last day of the conference. It was a short day with one break out session class. I wanted my outfit to be comfortable, and cute since this was the more hands on portion of the conference. It was a really good session with lots of ideas on how to grow social media followings without buying followers. Which is something I am completely against.

Okay, so I want to share why you should go to a conference for whatever industry you’re in, and especially if you’re a blogger. So, I’m going to share my top three reasons why you should invest in yourself, and go to a work conference for you.

  • Meeting other bloggers in your field is awesome, especially when you meet bloggers that you’ve been following that are attending the same conference. Yes, I’ve gotten to have that fan girl moment which was awesome!! Also, it’s really nice to make friends who are passionate about the same thing. Blogging is one of those things where we document so much, and it’s really cool to be around people who understand the need for a zillion photos at different angles so you can get just the right photo.
  • Learning more about what you’re passionate about is important, and a lot of times leading brands are at conferences. They can give invaluable advice and insight.
  • The last one I can’t promise, but a lot of the time you can meet brands that you wouldn’t otherwise have the opportunity to have face to face time with. Which is great for any blogger, but it can be really helpful for newer bloggers. The reason being newer bloggers aren’t always as seasoned at finding the PR contacts for companies, and that possible face to face time is really helpful.

Thank you so much for stopping by, and I hope ya’ll have a great start to your week!!

XO, Angela

    I met one of my best brand relationships at the bar in the lobby at a blog conference. I loved meeting other bloggers in person!
