My New Type-A Conference Friends

October 8, 2013 By: Calley Pate2 Comments

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to have new content delivered to your inbox! I hope to see you on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. I have a lot of information on rock painting and cloth diapers in my archives if you're interested! Thanks for visiting!

Nice to see you again! Hope you're having a fabulous day! Can I help you with anything? Contact Me!

Has a week already passed since Type-A conference in Atlanta??  I guess that’s what happens when you jump right back into life with 2 feet running at full speed.

What did I learn at Type-A?  This was my first time at this conference and I was actually pleasantly surprised at how small and intimate it was.  I was always running into the same group of ladies and feel like I really got to bond with many of them.  For the learning side of things I feel like my expectations are altered from what they should be.  I’ve been blogging since 2007 and I know a lot of the basic and intermediate things about social media.  Heck, I could probably have taught some of the sessions myself…but I’ve never really thought about that before.

  • I did learn a few things about Google+ and why I should embrace it, even if I don’t really like it.
  • I was motivated to update my media kit; which I promise to finish before the end of the week.
  • I learned what semantic markup is and know that I need to study up on it to see if it really matters.

Yep, that’s about my only real take-homes from the conference.  I did meet some great new brands and hopefully started some relationships with them.  I also made some new friends and hung out with some that I’m met before.  Perhaps you know them….

Friends you should follow:

I’m sure there were other friends I met that should be on this list but these mama’s hold a special place forever in my heart!  Most of them will understand the phrase; #justforkit
