We were served light refreshments, and there was a raffle for various prizes to attendees who entered their business cards in a glass bowl at the registration desk. Unfortunately, I didn't have business cards (although ordering them were on my "to do" list). So I took a blank piece of paper and wrote my name, cell number, and the blog name/web address on it, then tore it to the size of a business card. And guess what?? I won a spa experience! I never win anything - but I'm going to use it this week. Also, attendees who registered early for the conference were surprised to find a gift card to a local restaurant inside their name tag holders (I plan use mine on spa day).
The morning keynote speaker (local blogger) Alexis Barton, and a panel of more local bloggers provided information that was so inspirational and educating (my conference agenda was covered with handwritten notes and ideas), that I only stayed until lunch. I was really anxious to get home to work on this blog and order business cards (which will arrive next week).
Although I missed the second half of the conference (Beyond the Blog panel, a "Cake Break" eating petit-fours/networking, and a Closing keynote speaker), what I learned (and won) was well worth the money.
Thanks see jane write and its founder Mrs. Javacia Harris Bowser!
