Q: Are there going to be roommates if we want to reduce our hotel costs?
A: We know that many people in the blog world consider themselves “blog friends.” If you want to organize a roommate situation, feel free to use the Healthy Living Summit Facebook page as a resource to do so.

Q. Can I ask a brand I like to sponsor my trip to the Healthy Living Summit? How does that work?
A: Sure! Please check out our Blogger Guidelines for Personal Sponsors page for information on personal sponsorship.
