A couple months ago I announced that I was going to attend BlogHer.  Well, I hate to be wishy washy, but I’ve decided that BlogHer is just not for me…this year at least.  After talking with several blogging friends I’ve decided to attend EVO ’12!  In fact, I have already bought my ticket!  Evo is a smaller conference than BlogHer with a more intimate setting.  Attending Evo will allow me to work more closely with seasoned bloggers and great brand reps.  Hopefully, I’ll come back to you a little wiser and a little more blogging savvy, and take Oh So Savvy Mom to greater heights!

Evo is being held July 12-14 at The Canyons resort in Park City, Utah. I am seeking sponsors who would like to help me make my way there.  In return for your sponsorship I will actively represent and promote your brand throughout my time at the conference and during the months leading up to the conference.

For those unfamiliar with evo, here is a very quick summary:

Who: Bloggers, businesses, and social media junkies of all levels.

What: Participate in hands-on tutorials and workshops, thoughtful discussions and keynote panels. Network with the friends and brands you love.

And here is what I hope to come away with:

• a better understanding of who I am as a blogger and how to really create a place for myself in the the blogoshpere
• better blogging skills
• better business skills
• greater sense of community as I will have personally connected with other wonderful bloggers as well as brand and media representatives

Why Sponsor Me?

My blog has become a part of who I am, and, as such, I am passionate about it.  I love to share things I love and feel passionately about with the people I am in contact with every day.  I have a unique background that lends credibility to my opinions. I grew up as the 2nd child and oldest sister in a family of 12 children. I have a Bachelors of Science degree in Marriage, Family, and Human Development.  I have held many leadership positions in various auxiliaries in my church.  I have traveled to various parts of the world and have experienced many cultures.  All of these things have given me the knowledge, scope, and character to be an example to others.  (I hope) Those traits shine through in the articles and reviews I write here on my blog.

What a better way to have your company promoted than to sponsor me at this wonderful event! It is a great way to get the word out about your products or company! While at evo I will be interacting with hundreds of other women who, like myself, are influencing the lives of their friends and readers. Last year, at evo ’11 bloggers were able to set up a table at the Saturday morning meet and greet to display sponsors’ products, pamphlets, etc.  I’ll have the opportunity to engage directly with the other conference attendees about your brand! These are the people who will use your products and spread the word about them! Plus, all of my readers will get to hear about you as well!
