Blogging While Brown 2013

After that great experience last year, I know I was one of the first to register for this year's Blogging While Brown conference being held in Harlem in a couple weeks. 

The conference is targeted to bloggers, however, the information is valuable for anyone who is curious to learn what's new and important in social media from some of the best in the business, most of whom just happen to be black & brown. 

Last year's event was held in Philadelphia and I originally showed up out of curiosity. I hadn't registered, walked up to the table knowing they were sold out, and asked if they'd take my money for a one day peek at what was going on. Within 20 minutes I tracked that lady down and demanded she take more of my money because I knew I wanted to attend the second day just that fast. 

As a blogger who just does it for fun, it's exciting to hang out for a weekend with those who do it for a living. I expect to attend this event for years to come.
