Have you heard the new? Yours truly has been invited to attend WOW Summit 2014, November 7-9th in Orlando, Florida thanks to Moms Meet. For those of you not familiar, WOW Summit is a conference designed for moms (and dads) who are interested in living and raising families in a healthy/natural lifestyle. Today, I'm sharing my 3 reasons for why I'm going and why you should plan on attending too.
The Experts
When it comes to healthy living I feel like there is still so much out there for me to learn, especially when you have family with some many allergies like mine. Therefore, what better way to learn more about how I can make this journey to living a healthy and balanced lifestyle than by taking a few notes from the real experts. I'm also working on a list of questions in case there are Q&A opportunities at the end of each session. My three sessions that I am really looking forward to sitting in on are:
The Brands
As a blogger having the opportunity to interact with representatives from brands like Zevia and KIWI Shop, just to name a few, can be like the winning the networking lottery in many ways. We're no longer just a face on a social media page or a name on a blog. Likewise, we get the chance to really feel out brands we already like and make connections with new brands that we may have never tried before.
As mom, I get to really ask the hard questions like "Is your product really made of all natural ingredients?" or make suggestions like "Have you thought about adding gluten-free and/or dairy-free products to your line?" At the end of the day what I've learned in the past through my interaction with brands face to face is that they really value the feedback of their consumers. They're about making sure that they are providing the best products that they can and what better way to do that than with feedback from the families who buying their merchandise.
The Moms
Did you know there's going to be a poolside cocktail party and a Mom's Night Out comedy show at WOW Summit 2014?! Listen I love my kids, but sometimes I need be around other moms (and dads) for some grown up talk. I'm anxious to see if I'll run into any familiar faces from the blogging world and excited at the possibility of making new friends with both bloggers and non-bloggers. I'll have my phone, contact cards and an address book with tons of ink pens handy to exchange emails, blog urls and phone numbers.
