Influence Pre-Conference Meet & Greet

You guys, I am so excited that it is September because that means its almost October which means it is almost time for The Influence Conference 38 days to be exact but who's counting? One of the best things about conferences that originate here on the internet is the ability to get to know your fellow attendees better through social media like twitter or blogging. Before I went to my first conference I "met" a bunch of ladies on twitter and some of us split a rental car, others of us roomed together, but all of us felt like we knew someone before we went.

If I've said it once I've said it a million times, but I am all about community and community is a crucial part of The Influence Conference. So we thought it would be fun to host a little pre-conference meet & greet so we can get this community started already! If you have already purchased a ticket to The Influence Conference (they can be purchased HERE!) we would love for you to link up so we can all get to know each other better!! To make it easy, we've got a little countdown prompt we'd like you to blog about and then link up and make some new friends!

The prompt: 3 get-to-know-me things
2 things I'm looking forward to about the conference
1 thing I can't leave home without

The requirements:Have a ticket to the conference
Visit the link of the person who linked up before you and introduce yourself!

It's that easy... look, I'll go first:

3 Get to know me things:
1. I suppose I don't write it here enough but my name is Ashley. Riveting, I know.
2. I am super sarcastic and love to laugh. You will see when we meet in real life, but I'm a total goof.
3. I'm kind of nervous about leaving 5ohBaby with 5ohHubby (because I'll miss them not because I'm worried about him) but kind of really nervous about traveling while pregnant.

2 things I'm looking forward to about the conference:
1. I've been going over the conference schedule, the life sessions, the strategy sessions, and the workshops and I honestly don't know how I'm going to choose which to attend and which to miss- they all look so amazing!
2. I am so super excited to meet all of you (truly I am), hang out with some old friends, and goof around with my roomies Jenna, Raechel, and Kacia.

1 thing I can't leave home without:
I cannot absolutely under any circumstances travel without my straightening iron.



I'm heading over to see who linked up before me... Now it's your turn to link up!

  1. I don't think I can travel without my straightening iron either. Actually, make that my entire collection of hair products. That is the one thing that gives me nerves when traveling because maintaining my hair is hard enough when I'm at home!

    I'm so excited to meet you!

  4. You're sarcastic?!?! (See, it was a joke!) Excited to meet you. And you will do GREAT traveling while being pregnant. You just have to pack a lot of extra snacks and wear leggings or something comfy :) So excited to meet you in "real" life!

  17. Hi Ashley! Looking forward to meeting you! My daughter's name is Ashley by the way so I think it's the most beautiful, exciting name I know. :) I have heard such wonderful things about you from our mutual friend, Andi of The Hollie Rogue. She is my roomie for Influence so I'm excited to meet so many of you sweet bloggers! ~Bri

  18. You are too cute! I love being goofy and having a good time too. I know what you mean about having such a tough time choosing what sessions to go to!!!! I guess we need to schedule another Influence Conference with the same speakers so we can hear them all.
    Love your blog and am excited to meet you!

    -Shae :)
