Hi everyone! I am popping in again today to tell you a little bit about our 2nd annual DIY/Home Blogger conference, the Haven Conference—because we all know that there is no place like home! With only three months to go before conference kick-off, the Haven Team is all a-buzz ironing out the details for our 350 attendees.
Last year was our first year and it was a HUGE success! We hope to make this year even better. Haven will take place at the beautiful Buckhead Grand Hyatt in Atlanta, Georgia from Thursday, August 1 to Saturday, August 3.
Just in case you don’t know the Haven team, allow me to introduce us:
It includes myself, Sarah from Thrifty Decor Chick, Chris from Just a Girl, Rhoda from Southern Hospitality and Traci from Beneath My Heart. Oh, and we can’t forget rock star Kristin our Haven Conference Planner who is a BIG part of making the details of the location and logistics happen.
Haven couldn’t be possible without our amazing sponsors. This year we are blessed to have The Home Depot, Frogtape, Rustoleum and GMC as our premium sponsors (just to name a few):
We’re busy finalizing the sessions for the conference and we have an incredible group of designers, bloggers and business people who will be sharing their knowledge with attendees. Go here to see who will be joining us (we are still adding them so check back often!).
The conference is SOLD OUT, but we will be offering five ticket giveaways on our blogs over the next few weeks. Bookmark the dates so you don’t miss out!
May 13th: Just a Girl
May 20th: Home Stories A to Z
May 27th: Beneath My Heart
June 3rd: Southern Hospitality
June 10th: Thrifty Decor Chick
If you’d like to join us and don’t have a ticket keep an eye out for each of those! And if you aren’t already following us on Facebook here than please do so – many have to sell their tickets as we get closer to the conference and will announce it there. (Just a reminder to ticket holders – there will be no transfers honored after July 1st!)
If you already have your ticket you should have received an invite to the Haven Mavens Facebook (private) page – if you didn’t email one of us {thestoriesofa2z (at) gmail (dot) com} to let us know so we can get you added on. It’s a great place to chat and “meet” each other before the conference! We’ve also created a Haven Conference Instagram account – you can follow it at “havenconf”.
We’ve also started up a linky party over at the Haven Conference site (for attendees) – if you are joining us please link up your blog and visit those who will be attending as well!
And of course, feel free to add the Haven Maven button to your blog to let everyone know you’ll be there!
Are you attending the conference this year? If so, I can’t wait to see you there!
