There was so much that happened at the Design Bloggers Conference 2011, it’s a challenge to sum it all up. We figured that we couldn’t summarize the conference any better than our attendees, so in this blog post you’ll find a comprehensive collection of their highlights, recaps, and tips gleaned from the conference, along with lots of photos. We trust you’ll find them entertaining and informative.

Create Girl: Design Bloggers Conference 2011
WOW what an amazing few days I just had! I am back home from an inspiring 3 days out in California at the Design Blogger Conference. To be honest I was not sure what to expect, sometimes you go to these conferences and they can be hit or miss but this one was spot on! I found it to be geared much more to the full time interior designer and blogger, purely focused on business. Seriously there was no messing around here and I loved it!
Create Girl: Design Blogger Conference Tips Part 2
Last week I promised a few more tips from #DBC2011 but I think the best way to pass them is to gather round the kitchen table and list them. If you need me to expand on any just shoot me an email or leave a comment! Blogging with the Stars: Grace from Design*Sponge was so real, I just loved it! A big statement she made was not to think freelance is a walk in the park again you will work harder than you ever have!

When I first heard about the Design Bloggers Conference, I was immediately excited to attend. I’ve only been blogging for a year and a half and I was eager to get tips on how I could improve my skills and The Pink Chandelier.

Irene Turner: Design Bloggers Conference: Inspiration and Connection
Last week I attended the Design Blogging Conference in LA. I’ve been blogging now for a year and four months…yes, I’m counting. Sometimes I wonder why? It takes time, thought and creative inspiration to blog twice a week, every week, rain or shine, no matter how busy I am. And yes, there are people who post everyday, but that would not be me. I went because I wanted to find out what my peers think of this fairly new phenomenon…

As luck would have it, the meet and greet fell right in sync with the Academy Awards!

For the last few weeks I’ve been talking to anyone who would listen to me about this design bloggers conference that I was attending.

It was a packed 3-day schedule at the Sofitel Hotel in West Hollywood. The event was organized by Adam Japko of Design Sherpa and author of Wine Zag blog. Adam served us champagne at 10:00 am in the morning — not your average conference, huh? Well, the back story is Adam is passionate about wine,
