Thank God for Twitter or I would be freaking out about attending BlogHer ’10 on my own next week. Wait. Maybe Twitter is the reason I am stressed out and obsessed with what to wear, who to meet, invitations to accept and sessions I want to attend. Makes me want a cocktail before I even start packing.
While I am very excited about the conference, I am intrigued about all the hoopla and #blogher10 chatter overloading Twitter. As an attendee at many work conferences, I am surprised at the intensity BlogHer creates among its’ participants. Where I come from ya don’t label a first timer a “newbie”. Seriously, is there a special armband we wear so everyone can pick us out in the crowd?
I get the impression this two day event is very competitive. And to think, I just stumbled across the website late one night in February during an online shopping spree and blog session. It is probably a good thing I was unaware of all this stress or I would have taken my $198 and bought myself something pretty.
All jokes aside, this better be worth flying across the country. According to all the veteran BlogHer attendees that I follow, it should be fun and they “promise” I will learn something. What that something might be is yet to be determined. Can I have my money back if that doesn’t happen??
Hi! I have never been and am also amazed at all the Hype. I mean really? I'm going for donuts. and bakery's. Also? Adult communication. IF I learn anything I will be impressed because it's not my goal. Can't wait to meet you.
Adult communication does sound appealing however I have a feeling hanging out with you will be the highlight of the weekend! See you soon!
If nothing else, you will have FUN! That's why I go 🙂
I have also been to a zillion work conferences, but this is my first blog conference. I had no idea that I was supposed to get this worked up! All this twitter talk has stressed me out.
hey there sassy, i so feel your angst! i am a "newbie" too and all of the fuss is about to put me over the edge! it is certainly distracting me from writing/blogging, which is the whole reason i am going…to learn to that better! either way, we should hang out…DM me on twitter and get me your cell number. i get in on thursday morning and have multiple things to "attend" on thursday, switching to a new room on friday & just a bit overwhelmed!
