We did it! We held our second annual Bloggers Brunch earlier today and based on the feedback from guests and sponsors alike, I think we can say that a good time was had by all! Thanks so much to everyone who joined us for this special event.
The Bloggers Brunch, held at a private club in New York City, was designed to enable bloggers to connect in person with our clients and each other — as well as to enjoy a lovely brunch (complete with “momosas”), great giveaways and raffle prizes that could not be beat.
I would like to say a special thanks to a long list of folks who joined us today:
First, to our panel of leading mom bloggers, who addressed the topic “What Does a Mommy Blogger Want?” offering insights into the issues and trends that affect the momosphere today, as well as advice on how best to interest mom bloggers in your brand. Major kudos to: Debbie of Mamanista, Kimberly of Mom in the City, Liz of Cool Mom Picks, Jo-Lynne of Musings of a Housewife, and Melissa of Real Moms Guide. Great job!
Second, to the members of the Child’s Play Communications review network, Team Mom, who joined us for the day. What a pleasure to see everyone in person.
Third, to the folks who traveled from out of the NYC area — New Jersey, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Boston, Virginia, Maryland and even Florida! We hope you found the journey worthwhile.
And almost last but not at all least, to all the sponsors who helped make this possible. In alphabetical order: Cuisinart, FujiFilm, Goddard Schools, Good Housekeeping, Joy Berry Enterprises, Nickelodeon, the Orlando/Orange County Convention & Visitors Bureau and the Toy Industry Association. And, of course, to Lord & Taylor, which arranged for Louis, of Laura Mercier, to provide makeovers for our guests.
Love you all. Can’t wait until next year. Photos and video soon to follow.
I had a great time! Can’t wait to see the photos
I had so much fun! It was a privilege to speak on the panel. I look forward to the photos to come!
It was a great, informational time. I learned a lot. Thanks so much!
Thanks so much for having us Stephanie. Great event – and I learned a lot too!
Thank you, everyone!
What a wonderful day we had. I enjoyed being able to build relationships not only with a great group of companies, but with all of the bloggers who attended as well. It was WELL worth the trip up from Florida. Thank you for hosting this fun and informational event.
I was so excited to be invited that I eagerly waited for the date to arrive. Then you arranged the tour with Good Housekeeping and it was really icing on the cake. Thank you for an amazing event. I blogged about the tour http://www.mommyniri.com/2009/11/behind-the-scenes-tour-at-good-housekeeping/ as well.
I can’t wait for next year!
