In light of the upcoming Annual Bloggers Bash this weekend, and feeling slightly left out…(as in I really would like to go to this some day)…
…I am excited to announce that I was selected to be a speaker/panelist for the 2017 Sacramento WordCamp coming in September!
I will be presenting ideas in the panel for the session on Blogging Success and Monetization.
In a related blog post, Need More Inspiration? Attend a Blogging Event, I described the variety of blogging events happening, well, all over the world!
WordCamp Sacramento took me by surprise, and a fellow Sacramento blogger encouraged me to apply as a presenter. I feel very honored to be able to share my experience as a blogger!
“WordCamp Sacramento is a casual, locally organized conference happening September 16-17, 2017 that covers everything related to the world’s favorite platform: WordPress. Whether you’re brand new to WordPress, you use it casually, or you’re a seasoned professional, there is something for everyone at every skill level!
In its third year, WordCamp Sacramento is expanding to include a full day Beginner Track teaching attendees how to use WordPress, two mixed tracks of sessions on Saturday, and three mixed tracks of sessions on Sunday.”
You can read below how big this event will be by the number of speakers they lined up.
“We had so many great submissions for WordCamp Sacramento this year that narrowing it down was killer! We even added an hour to the schedule on Sunday to make room for more speakers…”

Is anyone else thinking about attending a blogging conference? Please let me know and I can update the post!
For those attending the Bloggers Bash in London, have a wonderful time and enjoy each other’s company! I will be excited to see the winners and congratulations to all the nominees!
Dang Terri, wish I didn’t live on the other side of the world from everything. 🙂

Yes, I hope so. Not sure which one she is attending. I think Marsha is attending the food blogger conference at the end of September–I’ll get to meet them both in person 🙂

Many congratulations on being a guest speaker at this event, Terri. I’ve never been asked to guest speak before, so I’m looking forward to hearing about how it all went. There looks to be a big crowd going, and I’m sure you’ll get to meet up with a few other bloggers whose blogs you already follow. But, most of all, have fun.

Your Sacramento WordCamp sounds much better than the one I attended in San Diego last year. The San Diego WordCamp was focused on Word Press web designers, admins, and providers. There was hardly anything (actually nothing) for bloggers at all. I’m sure it was great for the vast majority who attended, but the few bloggers I met there were disappointed. I would love it if the had one for bloggers/writers here. I am anxious to hear about your experience.

I remember we talked about that. The last two years I believe it was not focused on blogging, it seems like a good mix this year!

Is it every year?? We tend to be huge planners, and since we have this meet up in Seattle in October, I don’t think we could squeeze this in—ugh!!
And next year we are thinking of taking a cruise for my mom’s 80th celebration (and Nancy’s 70th)—if only I could go everywhere…..
XOXO

I believe this WordCamp is every year–this is their third and it has grown exponentially. There is a lot of web developer tracks, but you may be interested in some of those with your own website. This year they are doing much more for new bloggers and writers! I’m homebound this year with our new puppy, which is just fine by me 🙂
