This Is Me--2024 A to Z Theme

My A to Z Themes in the past have covered a range of topics and for 2024 the theme is a personal retrospective that I call "I Coulda Been" which is in reference to my job and career arc over my lifetime. I'll be looking at all sorts of occupations that I have done or could have done. Maybe you've done some of these too!

BLOGWORLD TODAY!!!!!

Save 20% when you register for BlogWorldExpo in Los Angeles, Nov. 3-5, 2011.

 

      If all goes as planned I am at BlogWorld today.   I've got my day mapped out and I'm ready to go. My plan is to take the train to the Los Angeles Convention Center in order to save the $12 parking fee and the twenty or so dollars it would cost to drive.  If the train works well I'll probably do the same on Saturday.

         According to my present schedule I'll try to take the 6:50 AM train to get me to the venue by 7:30 which is when the registration desk opens.  That should give me some time to join in the 8 AM networking breakfast and scout the facility before the doors to the exhibit hall open at 10:00.

         What do I expect to find there?  The Expo is essentially a trade show where there will be about 100 booths representing many companies and organizations related to blogging, social media, and other things.  Add to that a throng of bloggers and social media enthusiasts exploring what the expo has to offer.  For me that spells education and enlightenment.

         I'll let you know on Monday how it all went.

          Will any of you be there this weekend?


           
By the way, you don't have to go to BlogWorld in person to take advantage of the wealth of knowledge that the seminars will offer.  All speaker sessions will be available online for you to enjoy at your leisure.  For more information follow the link below:

    I hope you have a productive visit. Parking fees can be insane in big cities.

    Good to meet you Lee! I took the train to save on gas and parking, too. Hope you had a fantastic #bwela. I need to catch up on rest before I can recap an incredible weekend. To post, I had to login to my old WordPress blog. Keep in touch!
