About
The Casual Blogger Conference was born late one night, when we were lamenting the fact that we couldn’t go to those big conferences. We’re “just the mommy blogger” we thought, and we will never fit in with all those famous people, and we don't have much to offer.
We realized that there were probably a lot of other people just like us who wanted to learn more about their favorite hobby, but just couldn’t justify the expense--the ticket, the babysitters, the hotels-- and were a little intimidated by the whole idea.
We understand the power of the casual blogger. They stay home with their kids. They juggle a full time job and soccer practice. Sometimes they're married, sometimes they're not.
But they ALL find time to fit blogging into their lives.
Blogging is the medium that enhances the casual bloggers world. These websites open their world to new hobbies, ideas and people. We get the opportunity to meet people we wouldn't typically meet. We can find others that share our same passions with the simple click of a button.
We wanted to take the scare factor and intimidation away from conference attendance so that you will feel comfortable coming, associating and learning from other amazing people just like you.
This conference is for the person who posts about their kids, their garden, their favorite books or amazing food; the person that has other things that take up their time, but understands the value of connecting socially.
We want to show you that your online community genuinely believes in you, supports you, and wants you to succeed at whatever it is you do.
