What’s in my Conference Bag for HAVEN 2013
For those of you who haven’t heard the news… I will be teaching one of the classes at Haven this year!! Kinda crazy. The even crazier part are my fellow instructors (who happen to be two of my favorite bloggers) Emily A. Clark & Sarah Macklem of the Yellow Cape Cod!! Sounds fun right?!?
Last year Haven was my first ever blog conference & I was, well, terrified. I didn’t know what to bring, what to say or who to talk to. And while I was a bit of a wallflower, I did manage to meet some amazing people. Just remember that everyone is there for the same reasons… to learn (yes) & have a great time!
I think I took everything & the kitchen sink to the conference last year (like my laptop & a full size college ruled filled back to school binder!) & after getting even more swag, my bag was overflowing (& crazy heavy)! This year I will be taking the necessities (& a few of my personal must haves!)
Can’t wait to meet all of y’all in person!!
I am so excited and as a first time attendee was curious about what to bring. My back and shoulders will definitely be thanking you as I am the worst packer ever. I will for sure be taking your advice! π Jesse @ Scout & Nimble
so fun! and i'm envious you're even attending. i'm sure your class will be amazing! are those info cards about your blog?
They are Gwen! Basically a little blog resume… I took full size versions last year, but thought a smaller size would be easier to manage this go around ;).
This will be my first blog conference ever. I'm anxious, excited to meet everyone, and will for sure be at your session π I have no idea what I'm doing….xo Kristin
I'm so upset that I will miss the conference. I would have loved to meet you, but I chose 5 weeks in Germany with my family (like every year) instead. I really hope the conference will be on a different date next year.
Love all your stylish conference accessories π
Ah! I can't wait and am definitely going to need to show restraint with the packing ~ this is my first conference and I can't wait to meet so many people and just take it all in! π
Looks fantastic! Can't wait to hear about how Haven goes. I know you ladies will have a great time! Your stash looks simple and stylish. Thanks so much for including WOM darling! xo Big Hugs @ Waiting on Martha
cant wait to see you there- thanks for the reminder… I'll bring an empty bag for some swaaag π
I can't wait to get there and meet all of you "celebrities" from the blogging world!!
I'm so excited to meet you…and hope our classes don't overlap so I can sit front row in yours! You're taking your DSLR? I couldn't decide if I wanted to, or just take phone pics. Hmmmm
I love your business cards! Where did you get them?
You were one of the sweetest people I met last year and {again} THANK YOU for the ride to the train station….sorry I made you miss the last part of the conference π So sad to miss it this year but having a baby right around then kinda puts a kink in the plans π
Have fun!!
So excited for Haven! Hope I get to meet you! Luckily I'm attending with a fellow blogging friend so things won't be so awkward. Thanks for sharing your list of things to bring.
Ah Kristen – I found my way here via Emily Clark and Saturday 6.. as i'm looking around i'm like, hey, I know this person! I was in the class you did at Haven π I really enjoyed it, and afterwards I showed you a pic of my mantle and asked your quick opinion. I am so in love with your blog and your house pics – so glad I found it! PS – I love the O-Gloss from Smashbox, my absolute favorite!
Awsome website! I am loving it!! Will be back later to read some more. I am bookmarking your feeds also
