Why Attend?

Many technology conferences...

• are not accessible to less techie folks...
• are led by men...
• are expensive to attend...
• offer little to no hands-on support...
• provide little post conference guidance to ensure success...
• don't necessarily offer dynamic content (in other words, BORING!)...

We're cracking the code and shaking it up a bit!

Here's what's hot about the Blah Blah Blogging for Business conference:
The only premier Mid-West regional conference on blogging for women, by
women, especially Girls in Tech!

• It's FREE! with tuition reimbursement (thank you, generous sponsors!) with
a percentage of proceeds going to the ROX program to empower inner
Columbus city girls.
• Designed specifically to teach hands on-strategies, trends and tools to build
and EXPAND your brand online
• Will empower smart-savvy businesswomen to be smart-savvy bloggers with
cost-effective ways to build brand equity!
• Offers support to women between jobs/careers to land their next gig!
• Two days of conference sessions...go from 0 to 360 in no time flat!
• Follow up support on all sessions!
• An invaluable opportunity for female writers, thinkers, and entrepreneurs!

Do you have articles, perhaps a book you've written or cool tips and tricks you
are just waiting to share with prospects?

We'll show you how to build a site, manage your brand and re-purpose your
content!
DID WE MENTION WE HAVE A PHENOMENAL FEMALE BLOGGER-ROCKER
PERFORMING LIVE AT OUR LAUNCH EVENT ON FRIDAY NIGHT?
