Today I am proud to announce that at AimingLow’s very first conference (awesomely titled, Non-Conference), I will be part of the group that speaks to attendees.
If you’re a blogger, this is a must. Last year I went to BlogWorld LA – loved it. Not only did I get to hear from some of the most effective bloggers online, but I met and hung out with people who were passionate about blogging – you know, nerds. I have five close friendships today that started and blossomed there.
I’m heading in September to BlogHer, a conference in NYC that focuses on women bloggers. I’m going because I want to spend time with other people like me (even if they have boobs – wait… especially because they have boobs!).
And in October I’ll be heading down to Atlanta to go to AimingLow’s Non-Con. I’ve written before how AimingLow is simply one of the funniest sites on the web. I’m also a bit partial, as I’m on their “comic relief roster” and publish regularly there.
Their Non-Con is similar to the large conferences without the big presentations. Just blogger to blogger interaction, with a focus on small group conversation. This is what ends up happening after-hours at the big conferences anyway.
Best of all – this conference is totally free. That’s amazing because to go to BlogHer or BlogWorld, you’ll shell out hundreds of dollars just to get in (and even then it’s a total steal). As far as I know, this is the first time anything of this scale has been attempted.
I’ll be speaking with two incredible ladies. The first, Una Lamarche, is a HuffPo writer and all-around badass. The other is Robin Plemmons, a hilarious writer and artist. Her greeting cards are the only ones I will be buying from now on (aside from the Bieber line at American Greetings that I send out on Arbor Day).
Head over to AimingLow and sign up for information about this event. Trust me – it’s going to be great. And if it sucks, I’m not going to take responsibility for your poor decision. T.S.
