Note to self: Don’t join a linkup then move to self hosted two days later – My fellow bloggers is there any chance you could comment on this post on my new site? – BlogOn – Introduce yourself – and Why I go to blogging conferences/
In a couple of weeks (16th Sept), I’m off to a blogging conference run by the team at BlogOn (BlogOnuk.com) – it’s only down the road at Hotel Football, in Old Trafford, in Manchester – about three miles from my house.
I’d heard about these conferences which have been held twice a year since 2013 – everyone said how great it was. I went to one of their Conferences in May; it was really well run and very useful. I learnt so much that day, especially about Pinterest It was lovely to meet people I’ve known on Twitter/ Instagram face to face too.
My highlight of the conference was hearing Jason Todd from the Art of Brilliance talking about positive psychology in life and work. For example:
‘Every day is a Special Pants Day – Life’s too short. QUIT waiting for happiness’

This led me to attend their first Festival of Happiness in at Victoria Warehouse in Manchester in June. They’re holding another Festival in Birmingham on 29 June 2019 – info. I thoroughly recommend following them on twitter and attending their conferences. Such a wonderful, optimistic and positive day.
