Attending ShesConnected in Toronto #SCCTO

After arriving and checking into our hotel room with early check in. We ventured into the ShesConnected Conference. I would like to Thank Donna Marie Antoniadis and Mark Grindeland for being invited to this by invite only conference. It has been a great honour to be chosen as 1 of 200 Canadian Women influencers of Social Media. I also want to Thank Samara and Melissa of KidZoomer for sponsoring Alyssa and I on our trip to Toronto!

ShesConnected Conference started out around 11am by signing in with my ticket and heading into the Networking area where all the brands had set up tables with their goodies. They were waiting to meet all the great Digital Women that would be attending ShesConnected!

I was able to network with some wonderful people from the following brands -

Ford

Toshiba

Chicken Farmers of Canada

ConAgra Foods

Janes Family Foods

Maple Leaf Foods

Molson Canadian 67

Life Choices Foods

Royal Canadian Mint

Parent Tested Parent Approved

Purdy's Chocolates

BootyCamp Fitness

Christine Cushings

Marketing Magazine

Adult Essentials Gummies

After networking with the brands we headed into the conference area where the learning began. We listened to some great speakers and panelist from all these great companies and also bloggers that have been blogging for years and also upcoming bloggers.

Friday morning I was very happy to have breakfast with Co-founder of Mabel's Labels @JulieCole, also @AMotherhoodBlog, @Chancesmommy, @aaricamakeupblg, @MapleLeafMommy, @MilkandCoco, and @_littlemisskate.

Day two included some of the following topics - What brands want from bloggers and digital women, Product Reviews vs. Blog Tours vs. Brand Ambassador Programs, Social Media Rock stars: Verteran, New and rising stars, What is a Blogger worth?, Rate Cards, Guidelines, & Disclosure, and The 10 Rules of the Road, putting it all together.

As I sat there taking in all the speakers and panelist, I had a whole bunch of ideas spinning around in my head for blog posts. I am hoping I can work on them on my vacation. I have holidays starting Saturday! I only have to work on the 11th but after that I am off until the 19th.

I had a great time traveling with Alyssa and meeting tons of people from Twitter that I have chatted with, and lots I have not. I was also excited to meet bloggers who I have been reading their blogs since before I even started blogging.

So many pictures, I just may have to do another post. Here is one last shot for this post with some great ladies - @GGirlGGreen, @momvstheboys and @AMotherhoodBlog.

If I have missed anyone of you wonderful people I am sorry, please send me a DM or email and I will add you :)
