(And Other Blogging Conferneces)
My first fitness blogging conference was Fitbloggin’ 12, which was a wonderful experience in so many ways. If you are going to Fitbloggin in June (squee!), or to any of the other great blogger conferences , here are a few tips based on my experience as a first-timer.
First Things First: Packing Tips
You probably will want to bring your laptop so you can follow along during the blogging session, your phone/camera and chargers for taking pictures, and blog business cards if you have them.
I’ve Checked In–Now What?
If you have been to a blogger conference before, what tips would you add?
If you are going to a blog conference for the first time, what do you want to know?

Great tips. I was at Fitbloggin 11 and Fitbloggin 13 is my next conference. I will also be at Type-A in September. Looking forward to meeting you next week.
Bring biz cards! My first one I met so many people I had a difficult time remembering who everyone was. The second one I went to was better since I felt like I already "knew" many more people.
I've got my business cards ready and now need to figure out clothes. I have so much to do that's unrelated between now and next Thursday, it's totally snuck up on me 🙂 I'm not sure how you manage such a busy travel schedule!
Awesome advice, thank you!!
I'm SO EXCITED!
Great tips! I was there in 2011, but missed last year. So this year sorta feels like my first year all over again.
My tip is don’t be afraid to approach anyone. Even the ‘big bloggers.’ I was too shy my first year and missed out on a few people I really thought were awesome.
Very good tips, I like how you made them into graphics. I think we should all start tips on ways to save for next year's conferences. haha
I've never been to a blogger/fitness conference before! I'd LOVE to!
I want to go to a blogging conference so badly, I think I may look into the one in September! This is a MUST FOR ME cause I am obsessed with health and obsessed with blogging and meeting new people -these conferences were MADE for me! lol! FitBloggin starts the day after my birthday!! Celebrate for me when you're there, LOL!!! 😉
I'm still bummed that I can't go! Hopefully one of the next ones – I better pin these tips for when I do go!!!
Have a great time!!
Thanks, great tips! I'm very excited about hanging out in gym clothes at a conference 🙂
Great tips!! Definitely leave room for swag!! For me, the hardest thing to do is to not be afraid to approach bloggers and say hi. But it's so true that everyone is so friendly and I don't regret doing it. Have FUN at all the conferences! So sad that I won't be able to join this year.
Love the tips! I'm a newbie so I'll need them 🙂
Sounds like a great time! Which conference is your favorite- I want to put one on my schedule for next year?
Definitely Fitbloggin’! There is a great mix of fitness stuff and blogging stuff and everyone is very welcoming. It will be in Denver at the end of June in 2015. 🙂
