First time blogging conference attendee? Feeling Jitters? Never fear, the BlogPaws Newbies Group is here!!!

Attending your first blogging conference can be a daunting, nerve wracking and terrifying experience. The thought of meeting hundreds of people can send even the most gregarious  running for the hills!!

Your mind swirls with questions such as:


Hello???? How can you pass
THIS UP???

 Westin Lake Las Vegas Hotel
Henderson, Nevada, On beautiful Lake Las Vegas
 (30 minutes from the Strip)


Ok kitties bear with me!
DOGS learn at the Conference too!!
This is Chuy Chihuahua
from Irresistible Pets
he and his Mom
were sitting next to me
at a session in 2013

  • Who will I eat with? 
  • Will I have someone to talk to?
  • WHY DO I FEEL SOOOOOOOO OVERWHELMED AND STRANGE!!??


Nobody likes to feel strange, least of all ME.  That is why when I was about to attend my first BlogPaws Conference in 2011, Barbara Strunin and I began the BlogPaws Conference Newbies Group! 

Click here to join us!!!!!


The group was designed to give other "Nervous Nates and Nellies" like myself,  a safe-zone to connect, vent, share concerns, learn the conference "ropes", and hopefully make some new friends in the process!
See these tables?
There were EIGHT ROTATING
"NEWBIE" TABLES
AT THE KICK-OFF BREAKFAST ON FRIDAY!!

This is my third year managing the Newbies Group and I couldn't be happier! Our first year I think we had 50-something members, last year 108 (but who's counting?) and this year we hope to be even larger! CLICK HERE TO JOIN THE BLOGPAWS CONFERENCE 2014 NEWBIES GROUP!

One of many things that I am thrilled about with the group is that many of our Conference Veterans have joined, eager to share their experiences as well!

Why a Newbies Group?

Little did we know we
would be
BlogPaws Ambassadors in 2014!


As a proud BlogPaws Ambassador, I am here to tell you that BLOGPAWS CARES!!  We all know that animal lovers are some of the kindest people on the Planet, right? Well, that philosophy is evident in all that BlogPaws does, and that extends to the Newbies Group as well!

BlogPaws wants their conference attendees to have the BEST PRE-DURING AND POST conference experience possible! Let me tell you, that is NOT the norm!

I have attended conferences that from the day I arrived until I departed, not only was I lost, I could find NO ONE to ask a question,  I wasn't made to feel that my attendance mattered, I was given misinformation and left with a super bad taste in my mouth.

We do NOT want that to happen to you! All of the BlogPaws Ambassadors and the BlogPaws Team themselves are here to help YOU! YOU MATTER!

IF YOU DON'T ATTEND, LOOK AT WHAT YOU WILL MISS!!



If you have been sitting on the fence, wondering if you should attend the conference, ACT FAST....last year was a sell-out and this year is sure to follow suit!!
