Why would I want to read recaps of a conference that I actually attended? Because BlogHer is a two-day hyper-stimulating, activity-filled, mega-adventure that would be impossible for any one person to experience fully. Here are all the recaps I happened across. If you know of any other good ones, please link to them in the comments. Mine will be up soon.
Fellow Peever Blaugra recapped her experience.
Twenty Four at Heart had a great time and is going back next year.
Angry Julie Monday did the 5K fun run as did my childhood friend BabyBlooze. (I saw my friend at this conference for the first time since 1991... I think. It was great reconnecting in person.)
Fresh Vintage recapped day one but not day two. She sells cool vintage stuff on Etsy and had a display table at the conference.
Neilochka recapped his experience including the session he presented on storytelling.
This guy says it's not a lecture about how frivolous your blog and life are but it kind of seems like it is.
This lady says the marketers behaved themselves while some bloggers acted shamefully to get free stuff.
This blogger witnessed the lady involved in the #nikonhatesbabies scuffle that ended up on Twitter and urges you to get your facts straight before you participate. (MWW/Nikon respond)
This newish blogger seems a little judgy about people who like free stuff and people who would rather go to a session about writing than activism. I was actually out driving the Camaro that Chevy brought to the even during that session, guzzling gas like there was no tomorrow.
This arm was manhandled by other bloggers trying to get at free stuff.
Some loser tried to blackmail the Crocs guy because he ran out of Crocs and she wanted a free pair. To that I say, "What? There were free Crocs?"
More mommyblogger discontent from this lady, but she was glad she saw her friends.
This one says she isn't being judgy but she kind of is and she no longer wants to be associated with mommybloggers.
Maybe we should take a moment to remember that it takes all kinds of people to make the world go 'round.
This blogger brought her baby and had a pleasant experience.
This lady doesn't like to label herself - I think I have peeved about that before; I love labels - so don't even think about calling her a mommyblogger because all mommybloggers are greedy swaghounds with no sense of decency. Or something.
This blogger was disappointed and didn't find people with whom she could connect.
This lady and her friend met Paula Deen.
This professional blogger had a positive experience and links to other bloggers who already have nine billion followers.
And, at the end of it all, BlogHer wants to hear from everyone about what to do better next year.
