The Evolution of Women in Social Media conference, or Evo, is becoming a favorite summer highlight of mine. If you’re a blogger and have never been to a conference before, I highly recommend finding one that interests you. There’s nothing more fun than spending a weekend with like-minded people, sharing knowledge and building long-lasting relationships. Evo is great because it’s very laid-back, family friendly, and appeals to people with all kinds of blogs.
I’m lucky that it takes place practically in my own back yard in Park City at The Canyons Resort. This year we stayed at the resort and turned Evo into a little “staycation”. John accompanied me to the majority of the workshops and for the most part was a champ. Conferencing with a baby is not easy, but we made the most of it. I do have to thank my husband for being a huge help whenever he could.
I don’t have space enough here to recap all the wonderful things that happened during Evo, so here are my favorite takeaways got from the conference.
From Casey Mullins: If you’re not having fun, it’s probably you’re fault. Do something about it, and don’t compare yourself to others.
From Jyl Johnson Pattee: Look for the super in everyone. Enough said.
From Kathleen Harris: Delegating + leaving dishes in the sink + outsourcing when you can = greater happiness. Let go of unrealistic expectations and the pressure to be perfect.
From Allison McDonald: Bloggers are your community, not your competition. There was loud applause when Allison made this statement.
Probably my favorite thing about blogging is the community. Some of my closest friends are ones I’ve met online. I’m lucky to be a part of a close knit group of local food bloggers that support each other as bloggers and friends. I don’t blog because I want to make money or be famous, I blog because it’s fun and because it continues to reward me with meaningful relationships.
Now on to the giveaway!
Not surprisingly, I left Evo with the inspiration to be a better blogger. One way I hope to do that is by getting to know my reader community better. I’ve created a very short anonymous reader survey I’d love all of you to complete. Your feedback is very important, I want to know what you think and how I can make our relationship more meaningful.
As a thank you, once the survey is complete you are eligible to win a $25 Visa card from me. To enter to win, simply leave a comment on this post telling me that you completed the survey. A winner will be selected on Friday July 20th.
Update: The giveaway is now closed, but the survey will remain open to anyone who still wishes to complete it.
