8 Things I Love About 2016 #BlogPaws Conference

July 11, 2016

Last June 23-25, the 8th BlogPaws conference was held in Phoenix, AZ. This was my 3rd time and Sugar’s 2nd time attending BlogPaws. Here are 8 Things I Love About 2016 BlogPaws Conference.

2016 BlogPaws Conference

1. Hill’s Pet – Through Hill’s Pet sponsorship, our 2016 BlogPaws attendance was extra special. At BlogPaws, Hill’s Pet booth focused on their Food, Love & Shelter program – providing food and care to disaster areas. Hill’s Pet also shared information to all pet parents about being Pet Prepared.

2. PetSmart – It was so much fun touring PetSmart Home Office in Phoenix. PetSmart offers great amenities to their employees, like a day-care center, fitness center, cleaners, employee cafeteria, a coffee kiosk and they can bring their dog to work.

I can’t share much of what was discussed during the luncheon presentation.
There are great things happening at PetSmart.

4. Networking with Brands – Love the spacious exhibit hall. I enjoyed connecting with brands I’ve worked with and getting to know new brands. It’s great for brands to remember post/campaigns I’ve done and provided positive compliments.

5. Educational Session/Speakers/VIP Sessions
Favorite Session – Analytics Using Data to take your blog to the next level by Adam Greenbaum was my favorite social media/tech session. “Better content wins”

Favorite Speakers – Keynote speaker, Pamela Slim was my favorite. What she said about “Who I Am, What Skills Do I Have, What Am I Passionate To Share?” was inspiring. If you want step by step advice to escape your job and pursue your passion, read Pamela Slim’s book Escape From Cubicle Nation.

Sugar and I enjoyed hanging out at the Seresto Lounge while charging my devices.
Coffee Bar – I enjoyed many iced vanilla coffees with chocolate straws. Golden Thanks to Weruva.
Dogs were welcome at the Cat Lounge sponsored by Hauspanther. I love the coloring station plus the selfie cat table.
