UPDATED! Gaining Bliss and Much, Much More at Blissdom 2012
UPDATE: Thanks to all the commentators for you kind words of welcome! I will make a point to meet each one of your personally at BlissDom 12.
This coming February 23 to the 25th I will be indulging in some well earned Bliss – I’m attending the 2012 BlissDom Conference in Nashville, TN.
What is BlissDom Conference? It is a highly regarded conference for women who find bliss in blogging. The conference attracts talented, highly skilled experts in Social Media, Blogging, Publishing, and Public Relations to share their knowledge with Blissdom attendees.
Allison Worthington, Paula Bruno, and Barbara Jones of Blissdom Events are the dynamic trio that make Blissdom the premier women’s conference in the United States and Canada.
There a several reasons I’m attending this conference, the most important reason is the subject matter presented at this conference. The four tracks presented: Life Development, Photography, Writing, and Business are presented in a way that engages the audience to put into practice the subject of discussion then evaluate their results.
Pure Awesomeness.
Gone are top down lectures followed by a brief Q&A. This format is a highly effective way to share knowledge and it is what sold me on attending BlissDom.
Although I may be a ‘newbie’ to BlissDom, I’m quite experienced in attending conferences for professional and personal reasons. I’m looking forward to this conference, as I feel I’m stepping out of my comfort zone and entering into the unknown. Typically at conferences I’m surrounded by familiar faces and subject matter. With BlissDom, however, the only person I’ll recognize is Alli Worthington. Most bloggers, if not all, attending this conference are not regular readers of my blog. I see this conference is an opportunity to introduce myself and find common ground within a blogging community that rarely crosses my blogging path.
So, if you are planning to attend BlissDom 12, please leave a comment and feel free to say hello at the conference. You can spot me as I will be sporting a Sting – Dream of the Blue Turtles purse:
PS: I’m flying into Nashville on February 22nd and I’m looking for photo walk tips around Nashville and good running trails near the Opryland Hotel.

Broadway both during the day and at night is my favorite place to take pictures. As far as running? Pfft. Nope, sorry. 🙂
Hope to meet you and that you have so much fun!
Welcome!!! Can’t wait to meet you! There are photo walks thru Opryland during the conference. As for running – it may be a wee bit cold outside but the hotel does have a very nice gym. Find me. I am always up for a run 🙂
YAY!! Looking forward to meeting you and seeing that awesome purse in person. I had a blast just walking around the hotel and taking photos, it is like a world in itself.
This is my first Blissdom, too! I’ll try to find you at the Newbies get together. 🙂
Last year was my first Blissdom, although like you I am not new to blog conferences. I was surprised as how many people I knew via social media. I’m sure you will be surprised how many people you know too.
I’m one of the Newcomer Community Leaders and can’t wait to welcome you to Blissdom in person!
I’m one of the newbie community leaders and I’m so excited to see everyone who is coming this year! I cannot WAIT. We are going to have a blast – pure and simple.
I LOVE Blissdom — it is so much better than all the other bloggity blog conventions both for the business aspect or even in our realm: politics. I, unfortunately, have to teach this year so I can’t get away but I’m CERTAIN you will have a great time, full of rich experiences.
I will be there. This will be my first Blissdom conference and my second blogging conference. I live in Chattanooga so I don’t know a lot about the walking around Nashville, but it is an absolutely beautiful place so I know you’ll get some awesome shots. See you there!
Hi Tania – Stopping by to spread some newcomer love! It’s my first bliss but I’m a conference veteran so I’m one of the Community Leaders. And after checking out your site, I’m sort of excited to meet you (fellow conservative here 😉 )
I cannot WAIT to meet you!
I’m coming too! This is my 3rd year and I’m so excited about meeting all the new faces!
Wow! Impressive welcome 🙂 I look forward to meeting all of you at Blissdom 🙂
I’ll be the one in running gear 🙂
See you there, Karen!
Can’t wait to meet you! This is my 3rd year attending. It’s a blast and you get to meet so many great people.
Looking forward to chatting tech with you at Blissdom 🙂
Emily, I’m looking at 3-6 mile runs around the hotel or in Nashville.
Thanks! Checked out your blog – so many great savings tips – I will be back 🙂
Its my first Blissdom too! I’ll be at the newbies on Thursday as well! I’m sure I’ll spot your purse!
Gotta love another hometown girl! (though I currently live in S Jersey, please don’t judge me, I had no choice!) This is my first conference ever and I’m thrilled to pieces over having the opportunity to go.
I’ll be on the lookout for that purse! Would love to meet you.
Can’t wait to meet ALL of you! I’m a newbie too and I’m just getting to all of this pre-conference stuff!!! Woohoo! 3 more sleeps!
