This Thursday, I will be heading to the annual BlogHer conference for the fifth time. MY FIFTH BLOGHER. How did time pass by so quickly? Social media has changed drastically since that first visit, and continues to evolves at lightning speed. Even if you a’re immersed in it, it’s still hard to keep up.
Not only will this be my fifth BlogHer visit, but it will also take place (at least some of the events, anyway) at the very same hotel, the Sherton Chicago, that hosted my first BlogHer conference in 2009. Talk about full circle. There is no doubt that walking into that hotel will feel fuzzy and nostalgic.
My 2009 experience was such a crucial step in launching my blogging and social media career, that I hold it very dear to my heart. I also hold the friendships I made that first year very dear as well, and I am still close to many of the bloggers I met. Yup, I’m happy to be back in Chicago.
The good people from Serta have sponsored my visit to BlogHer this year, so if you’re headed to BlogHer, too, I hope you will visit me at the Serta booth in the expo hall on Friday 12:00pm-1:00pm and 4:00pm-5:00pm, and Saturday 12:00pm-1:00pm. I would love to see you!
