NEW YORK, July 10, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Blogger Bash is not a typical blogger conference. Instead, it is a conference that breathes life into the blogging world, eliminating stuffy conference rooms, impersonal convention centers and exhausting speeches. Designed with both bloggers and brands in mind, Blogger Bash will take place in a hip, chic New York City venue that will allow experienced bloggers with established followings to mingle, interact with brands, and have fun in a relaxed informal environment.
WHAT:
Blogger Bash is a two-day conference, complete with events, parties, special guest speakers and roundtable discussions, all designed to create a more meaningful dialogue between brands and bloggers. Over the course of the two days, guests will engage with leading companies in various lifestyle sectors, including toys, technology, baby products, fashion, food and more. Brands will provide a first look at new products coming to market, hands-on demonstrations, and, of course, some great swag.
Blogger Bash is open to both bloggers and traditional media.
