I will admit I am pretty much a home body. My husband and I are not apt to go on dates or it’s very rare. I have never gone anywhere overnight without my children. I heard some of you *gasp*! The closest I have come to doing so is when I went home to Canada when my dad was sick back in 2002, even then I had a 4-month old with me! However, that is about to change come May 4-6th when I attend the 3rd Annual Brandcation Bloggers Gone Coastal. Call it a mommy vacation, it won’t really be a blogging vacation since I will still be doing some social media stuff, besides the whole event is centered around bloggers and blogging! I have never attended a blogging event either and am very excited and nervous now that I have taken the step of faith bought my ticket, paid for my lodging and booked my airfare! I have never met any of these women except for our online interaction, but I have learned a lot from many of them.
Brandcation
What is Brandcation anyways? It an annual event that is only open to a select few bloggers – only 30 tickets are sold. Once they are gone, they are gone. I got one of the last few, I cut it that close! Only about 5 PR tickets are sold. Incredible brands sponsor this event to keep costs low for the attendees and an amazing group of women organize all the activities! (Thanks Trisha, Lynsey and Kim! And any others behind the scenes!)
There are no classes or workshops, all networking is done in conversation making it personal, enabling attendees and PR to connect face to face real life style.
I have wanted to go the last two years but have been unable to due to being pregnant and having a baby under a year. I still can’t believe I am going this year!
Let the Fun Begin!
P.S. If you happen to be a brand or company reading this and think my blog compliments your product or service, I am seeking sponsors for this event. Please contact me for more details about partnering with me to share your brand with 30 other bloggers. Thanks!
I wish I were going! Have fun!
Thanks, Dawn, I am sure I will! Might be a little green or lose a foot ziplining but overall it should be great!
Have fun!
I’m the same way will being a homebody. I so wish I was going to this. I really hope next year!!
You’re going to have so much fun!
I hope you have an amazing time and know you will. I have been to the last two brandcations, but can’t go to this one as I am too pregnant. Have fun!
Sooo jealous!!!
I understand, Penelope, I have been there too.
So excited to meet you
I’m pretty much a homebody myself. I’d love to meet all of the MomDotters someday, though!
I am also a homebody, but at the same time, want to start going to conferences such as Brandcation. I was ready to start this year but my sister got pregnant and needs me around “just in case” she goes early!
I hope you have a blast!! It sounds like you could use the break!! Can’t wait to read all about it!
Cannot wait to read all about your trip!!
So jealous! I want to go but I’ll be at my fiancee’s Grandma’s birthday party in Nebraska. Snore.
I so wish I could go!! Have fun!!!
Have fun!!
