I'm heading out today to attend the Savvy Blogging Summit in Colorado Springs, CO.
I heard great things about their event last year, and am looking forward to a weekend with bloggers - and of course, some great friends who are joining me there.
One of my primary objectives at the Summit is to attend an elective session on Blogger/PR, and to learn more about securing those relationships. I'm also attending two others, one on advanced photography and one on vlogging.
I was looking over the event agenda earlier this week and am really impressed with the way it's organized. It's unlike most other events I attend, in a number of ways...
It's very well organized, for one. The email communication has been great, keeping us updated on additions and changes - as well as weather, attire, options, etc. They have some very nice sponsors and networking arranged as well.
Sponsors include SwagBucks and FeedBlitz. You'll remember my recent posts about both, so I am really looking forward to meeting them at the event.
Particularly Phil Hollows of List Building for Bloggers - which is one of my favorite guides on current list building & email marketing strategies.
Note: We have an exclusive discount code for Phil's guide. See the end of this post for details. 😉
We'll be staying at the Cheyenne Mountain Resort, which I'm told has absolutely gorgeous views. My assistant @AngieNewton and my friend Tawnya Sutherland (@VAnetworking) will be my roomies for the weekend, and our friend @DanMorris is attending as well. Should make for a fabulous time!
You can follow along on Facebook and Twitter for updates, including blogging tips & fun photos. And of course you can expect a full review and recap from me here when I return next week. 😀
Best,
p.s. You can get recordings from last years event, and you can also watch that page for recordings of the 2011 Savvy Blogging Summit event as well. They should be ready by late July or August.
Edit: The Summit Sale goes live at 12:00 am on Thursday and runs until July 23. The discount code is "TheSprings". All 2010 recordings will be 50% off plus anyone who makes a purchase during the sale will receive a free recording of Phil Hollow's 2011 Email Marketing session (available on or before August 1).
-Great deal! 😉
About Lynn Terry
Enjoy "The Springs", Lynn. And yes, the views from Cheyenne Mountain Resort are amazing!
Don't forget to keep hydrating to compensate for the dry air and elevation. 🙂

I really like summits and live events as they can bring to your business what no other thing can, because of the relationships you can make with other people who have the same interest. Good luck with the Savvy blogging summit.
Lynn, I have promised myself that I will go to more events. Trouble is I live in the Pyrenees and that means so much travelling.
look forward to reading your updates.
Looking forward to meeting you, Lynn, and welcoming you to beautiful Colorado Springs!
I'd be there if I wasn't so vehemently opposed to the TSA!
Have fun! It sounds like a great event. I'll be looking forward to hearing the audio recordings!
Wow. That sounds like a lot of fun. I would love to hear Phil speak.
Feel free to publish a few transcripts from the event if you can...;)
Have fun in CO Lynn.
