Hi! I think I remember reading that as the event was not streamed this year, the panels were videotaped and would be posted to the web? Is that the case, and, if so, any information on that?

Thanks!

I had an amazing time at the Summit. It was one of the best decisions of my life deciding to buy a ticket. Even though I don’t have a blog, I feel that all the blogger’s welcomed me with open arms. All of the events and speakers were inspiring and informative. This was the first time leaving an event with over a 100 women confident about my body and it improved my self-esteem. I met a plethora of intelligent, humorous, and sweet women. This event has inspired me to pursue starting my own blog!! Thank you to the sponsor for providing fantastic food and the blogger’s who organized it!! :) I would link to your name and website but I have not yet learned how to do it! ;) I finally met my food blogger crushes, and many other amazing women.

I had a wonderful time! For my first experience meeting bloggers from the community I was surprised at how welcoming everyone was. I’m not sure why I was so surprised though given how supportive everyone is through their blogs, comments and tweets!

I made so many blends that my heart is ready to burst from love!
