So in less than two weeks I am going to a blog conference I have wanted to go to for YEARS! Alt Summit in SLC. I am getting excited well thats an understatement. Blogging is one of the most important parts of my life. Five years ago when I started blogging I never knew the opportunities it would give me and the chances I would take because of it. Blogging has taught me to not get stagnant and when I do these conferences tend to come at the right time. Blogging has made me stay curious, open, excited and willing to try new things.
I am so excited to meet so many new people, excited to visit a new city, excited to see what this conference brings for my writing, my blog, and all that it encompasses.
I think being inspired by others is one of the best parts of this world. Hearing other peoples stories, struggles, values, hopes and inspiration not only inspires me but it pushes me to be the best version of myself.
At the end of the day I want to stay curious about this world of blogging, stay active and really enjoy this new to me conference.
Alt I’m coming for you!
What keeps you curious?

I hope you enjoy our city. It’s a great place and I’m super jealous you get to go to ALT! Have fun.
What keeps me curious.. how bloggers get so successful? How they reach ‘the numbers’ so quickly. It’s a mystery that I hope one day I will be a part of. Smile.
Fun! It’s been on my blogging wish list to attend my first conference, maybe this year I can finally go to one! Enjoy it!
Sounds amazing! I made a goal this year to attend a blog event, even just a small one. I hope you enjoy it and leave feeling inspired! =)
How exciting! I can’t wait to read all about it. I hope you’re having tons of fun!
Awesome!!! I’d love to get to go to one of these! …One day! =)
Go you!!! Conferences are fun and any little trip away is cause for excitement!!!!
Neely, I am looking forward to a writer’s conference in Austin this summer. I hope to find it stimulating as well.
Can’t wait to hear what you learn!
how cool! I really want to go to a blog conference at some point in the near future! It sounds so cool 🙂 have fun! ♥ Things that keep me curious include good stories, good food, unique style, new beauty products, and laughter 🙂
I am so excited for you! I think it is so important to prioritize things that bring you happiness…and I know this is one of those things for you 🙂
Maybe one day we can go to a conference together!!!! 🙂
How fun! We had a blogging conference here this last fall that I sadly missed out on, but I’m hoping to go next year. Have a blast at yours!
Oh i’d love to attend a blog conference! Maybe one day… have fun!
Totally sweet! And you are spot on.. This is EXACTLY what blogging is all about. I personally never attended any life blog conference. I do have plans though this year 2015 to make it one of my duties to attend. Please come back and blog about your blog conference experience. I am sure you are but I will definitely be looking for it 😉

Awesome! Hope you have fun, Neely!
Have so much fun! Thinking of you, hope you’re feeling better.
Sounds like so much fun!
How exciting!!! Can’t wait to hear all about it!!
Oh my goodness. Can I just say how JEALOUS I am that you’re attending ALT?! That’s going to be incredible, and I cannot wait to hear about your experience there. So excited that you’re getting to attend. I can imagine it’s going to be incredible, and you’ll learn SO much!
This sounds great! I am jealous, have fun and I cannot wait to see what you get from it!
Oh how I needed to read this post. My wonderful hubby signed me up for a blogging conference for next weekend and I am completely terrified, mainly because I still don’t really know what in the world I am doing. Writing is a piece of cake for me (I am a teacher), but the blogging parts are still a challenge for me, and I am afraid to admit it to a group of strangers. Wishing you (and not gonna lie–myself, too) a great conference!
Maybe one day I will make it to a bloggers conference. 😀 Have a wonderful time !
I’ve always wanted to go to ALT…have fun!
Sounds like a great time, have fun!
