Florida Blogger & Social Media Conference 2013


Last weekend was the Florida Blogger & Social Media Conference in Orlando. This was my second attendance to the conference and will not be my last. I love the opportunity to be around like minded individuals, also interested in writing. In addition to the networking, the motivation and knowledge from the speakers is incredibly valuable to a blogger.
Apparently I was deep in thought...

At last year's conference I met Kat of Sneakers and Fingerpaints, throughout the year we've kept in touch via Twitter and it was great to see her again. To read about her fitness journey and current endeavor to run a marathon be sure to check out her blog.
Lunch provided by Bahama Breeze.
Bahama Breeze provided lunch for the attendees. Their new cocktail, the Curly Tail, was served along with a to die for chocolate mousse for dessert. The green beans, salad and fruits were good too, but we all know I'm about the dessert. ;) They also had shrimp and grits (with bacon-boo!), looked good but I'm still not eating meat so I went for a veggie lunch.
I also finally got to meet Amy of The Funky Fork, another Saint Augustine blogger. Amy writes about fitness and healthy eating on her blog. Be sure to pop over, as a trainer she has knowledgeable insight we could all use.

Sadly I had to leave early, and missed the afternoon sessions. But it was great while it lasted and I thoroughly enjoyed meeting the other bloggers.

Have you attended a conference on blogging? Are you scheduled for any coming up this year?

I found out about this a few months ago and was looking forward to it, but tickets when really quick. Next year I am getting them early. So glad to hear about someone who went.
