YALL, I can’t even type out an introduction because I’m just WAY TOO EXCITED to fill you in on this conference! I think I’ll start with general questions/answers that I’ve been asked since attending…

Would you recommend it?
1 million percent HELL. YES. Like, just get your butt in that room. & it’s not just for bloggers/influencers. It’s for ANYONE! You will leave that conference on fire and so motivated! There is literally not a single detail that wasn’t executed to perfection. From the backdrops (oh. em. gee! see pictures below) to the speakers to the booths to the other women attendees you make friends with… it’s just the best event I’ve ever attended. I would pay the money again in a heartbeat. AND I will whenever the next conference is! I have a feeling I’ll be bringing some girls with, too 🙂

Friday night, there was a C&C Happy Hour for attendees at the WeWork in Chicago. You get to mix, mingle and network with everyone the night before the conference. It’s so much fun!

Saturday, plan for your day to be filled to the brim with an awesome agenda! C&C will send you the lineup and a guide of “what to expect” before you get to the conference! Breakfast, lunch and break food was all provided. You will have mentor sessions, panels with keynote speakers. There will be AMAZING businesses there with booths set up everywhere. They will have happies/samples for you, some will fix your hair for you, do your makeup for you, ALL THE WORKS…

Tips when you go:
- Spend the extra money for VIP. It’s worth it. You have the ability to choose which “track” you want (there was one track that pertained more to me, my goals, and what I wanted to learn), you get to choose your one-on-one mentors (I got to pick 2 bloggers/influencers that I loved already and learn from them and ask them questions!), access to a VIP section
- Have business cards to hand out
- Pay attention to the time and make sure you move around to all the break-out sessions of panel speakers that you wanted to listen to!
- EVERYTHING is IG-worthy. E V E R Y T H I N G. (okay this isn’t a tip or trick, but rest up and enjoy!)
