Type-A Mom Conference 2010 will provide mom and dad bloggers and companies with a chance to network, learn and take it to the next level.
I am really enjoying reading the wonderful blog posts I have seen about coming to Type-A Mom Conference. If you have written a pre-conference post, please share it below! That way, we can all hit one another’s blogs and the networking (virtual style anyway) can begin now! Photo by Kris Cain
I wanted to be sure to thank the generous sponsors of Type-A Mom Conference who have signed on so far. These are companies who get and appreciate the impact that parents have in social media and blogging. Without their support, the conference would not be possible. Please take a moment to see our Sponsors page,...
The deadline for volunteer applications is August 3rd. If you’d like a chance to attend Type-A Mom Conference but cannot afford a full pass, you can now apply to volunteer to get half off or a full pass. Not all who apply will get selected. We have a variety of tasks we need help with,...
When seeking out a closing keynote speaker, I wanted to find a woman who is an outstanding role model for attendees: a trailblazer, a thought leader, someone who has the decades of experience that many in the social media and blogging space don’t yet have. I am pleased to announce that the closing keynote speaker,...
We are offering a special now through Father’s Day. Any dads who register get $50 with discount code “fathersday.” Get the deal for yourself, dads, or if you know a dad, give it as a Father’s Day gift (you can register yourself and put the gift recipient’s name under the attendee information). This year, we...
The schedule was just updated to include most of the sessions, and the speaker list was updated as well. I have many of the speaker slots filled now, but you can review the list of sessions to submit or resubmit as I will add some more speakers later. I am also still accepting speaker proposals...
If you’re looking for last-minute ideas to suggest as a Mother’s Day gift, you can nudge someone to get you a pass to Type-A Mom Conference. Between now and Sunday, in fact, we have a holiday special discount of $50 off registration. Someone can even buy it for you without you knowing. To do so,...
When I was considering which charities to promote through the conference, one of the first that popped into my mind is a charity that has helped me and so many other moms, dads and babies: March of Dimes. As a mom of three premature babies, I used their resources countless times in educating myself, enduring...
The great thing about hosting a conference is it provides a unique opportunity to help others. This year, Type-A Mom will have official charities that the conference promotes. The YWCA of Asheville has a pretty amazing history of helping women and children and fighting racism. I encourage you to watch this short video, and I...
For 2010, we have added a dad track. The dad track, which you can attend only or you can attend as part of a full conference pass, brings together some of the thought leaders in the Dadosphere to talk blogging and social media. To attend, you can register here! View the full conference schedule. The...
A great way to let your readers know you are coming to Type-A Mom is with a badge! Even if you are not yet registered, you can sign up to promote the conference through the affiliate program so you earn a commission if people you refer book a conference pass. I’ve included a badge below...
The number of Super Early Bird tickets is dwindling quickly. Besides the cost savings, I have an added incentive to register early. The Asheville Area Convention & Visitors Bureau is providing two gift cards that would be wonderful to use while you’re here. One winner will get a $40 gift card to Sensibilities Day Spa...
For 2010, we are again featuring a Type-A Mom poster competition. Since Asheville is full of artists and since I know so many mom bloggers are uber creative and, quite simply, graphic art geniuses, I decided to let you guys design and help choose the official poster. How to enter Create an image that can...
Type-A Mom Conference will again feature a Mom Market. Styled after some of the dozens of local farmers’ markets in Asheville, it will be a special market Sunday morning of the conference for mom-made and locally-made or grown items such as food and crafts. Please apply below, and apply soon because the number of spots...
When clients ask me which social media conference they should sponsor, I always suggest Type-A first. Unlike many other similar events, Type-A allows sponsors to connect with social media moms in an intimate way that generates brand loyalty and long lasting relationships. Your logo doesn\'t get lost among hundreds of others and the organizers genuinely care about connecting your brand with the attendees.
