The Florida Blogger & Social Media Conference (FLBlogCon) began in 2011 and was an instant success.
(The conference used to the Central Florida Blogger & Social Media Conference, or CFLBlogCon, but dropped the “Central” this year.)
I attended the conference in its inaugural year and was so impressed. At last year’s conference, I left with tons of notes and can honestly say that it was the most educational blogging conference I have ever attended.
I detailed a bunch of my takeaways in my conference recaps which you can see below:
The conference addresses blog growth, search engine optimization, growing your presence in social media, making money through blogging, marketing your blog and more. There’s so much to learn!
This year the conference is taking place at Full Sail in Winter Park, Florida on Saturday, September 21. Tickets go on sale May 15, but you can win one through this giveaway before they’re available to the public!
And for those of you interested in speaking at the conference, they are accepting applications through May 1. Click here to apply!
