Early Planning Stages!

Posted: May 1st, 2009 | Author: Roni | Filed under: FitBloggin'10, News | 54 Comments »

Welcome to the home of FitBloggin’10! No, no, it’s not he tenth FitBloggin conference, it’s the first! Slated for 2010! The conference’s goal is to educate, inspire, share, network, and learn how to blog your way to a healthier you. We are planning on events and panels geared towards anyone who blogs or is interested in blogging about a healthy lifestyle. For a brief overview of the conference agenda check out the schedule page. More details comin’ soon!

The only problem is we don’t know how many of you would be interested in or have the ability to attend such a conference. So help us out and leave a comment below with a simply YAY or nay.

The first FitBloggin’ will be held in the beautiful Inner Harbor area of Baltimore Maryland, Saturday March 20, 2010.

So what say you? Right up your alley or no way man, conferences aren’t my thing.

Updates:
I will attempt to respond to early concerns/question here in the original post as opposed to the comments.

First order of business… the location. The plan is for a traveling FitBloggin’ conference. The first year’s location was selected for ease of organization. If (when) it is a success the conference will travel to a new city in 2011.

Amy asked about fitness levels… Great question! ALL are welcome! Whether you are considering a blog to help you lose weight or an avid runner who archives their marathon training online. We aren’t here to judge each others fitness levels but to explore how blogs can help inspire, educate and help everyone live healthier lives.

  7. 7 Irene said at 9:47 am on May 1st, 2009:

    Oh, now I see it is going to be in Baltimore. That’s totally doable for me.

  8. 8 Angie (Losing It and Loving It) said at 9:48 am on May 1st, 2009:

  9. 9 renae said at 9:52 am on May 1st, 2009:

    I don’t know what the requirements are to attend, but it sounds like a lot of fun!

  10. 10 Courtney said at 9:53 am on May 1st, 2009:

    I would totally be interested in coming! I’m not sure whether it would actually work, seeing as though it’s quite far to travel by car, and I’m definitely too poor [darn university!] to fly down!

    We’ll see though! I totally will if I can!

  11. 11 mousearoo said at 10:12 am on May 1st, 2009:

    But this probably means I should stop blogging about cupcakes ;)

  19. 19 Glam said at 11:15 am on May 1st, 2009:

    I’d be soooo in!

  20. 20 Cinemarie said at 11:22 am on May 1st, 2009:

    COOL! I would LOVE to attend this conference!!! The only problem is – I have no idea where in the world I will be in March 2010! (I will either be between contracts, or starting a new one, my current contract ends in Jan/Feb…) But if I’m available at that point and can make it to Baltimore – I sure will be there!!! When do we need to say ‘yes’ by?

    Thanks Roni!!! :)

  21. 21 Karen said at 11:28 am on May 1st, 2009:

    This sounds like a great opportunity! I am interested in attending for sure!

  22. 22 Lacey said at 11:46 am on May 1st, 2009:

    Yay. It’s a bit to travel for me (WA state), but I’m totally in, its definately enough time for me to plan for it.

  23. 23 Marsha @ AWeightLifted said at 12:19 pm on May 1st, 2009:

  25. 25 MizFit said at 3:34 pm on May 1st, 2009:

    OOOH GREAT!

  26. 26 charlotte said at 3:54 pm on May 1st, 2009:

    I’m VERY interested in the conference! Sounds right up my alley. Baltimore is out for me though. Too far, too $$. Maybe the next one will be closer to me though!

  27. 27 Crabby McSlacker said at 4:09 pm on May 1st, 2009:

    Can’t totally commit yet, but put me at 80% likely. Will do my darndest.

  28. 28 Lauren P said at 7:48 pm on May 1st, 2009:

    Ohhh….and it’s so close to me too! Count me in!

  29. 29 Amy said at 7:55 pm on May 1st, 2009:

    I am a likely yes… I will have to make the call closer to the event.

    2 suggestions…
    1. A group walk around Baltimore… great way to exercise and see some sights!
    2. A fun run… maybe set up a jog or something!?!?
    Just a couple thoughts.

    You rock Roni!! Thanks for doing this!

  33. 33 Lucrecia said at 7:03 pm on May 2nd, 2009:

  37. 37 Amy in OHio said at 9:42 pm on May 6th, 2009:

    Depending on cost and what not, I would be totally interested.

    It would be for all levels of fitness, right? I’m just now recreating myself (physcially, that is) and I blog about that journey. Would there be a place for someone like me?
