Welcome to INDIE!




Welcome to INDIE!

We are so excited to be hosting our second INDIE e-conference. We've both worked really hard on making this e-conference different than the last one and we can't wait to get started. This one will be new and unique in the way that we are actually covering NYFW in the flesh this year! We will incorporate both basic sessions as well as sneak peeks, behind the scenes, and give you an actual sense of an 'average day at NYFW as a fashion blogger'.

Why are we putting this on?
Both of us attended the NYFW blogger conferences in February and September of 2010 and we loved going to and learning from those events. February 2011 NYFW, however, neither of us were able to attend, and so instead we decided to put together an e-conference for all the bloggers that can't afford to go to NYFW for those events. For a lot of you just starting out, you're still trying to test the waters and figure things out and fashion week conferences are too much of a commitment for something you're not super serious about yet. This is the beauty of having an online conference! There are no travel expenses, minimal time commitment, and you can check it out on your own time! Plus, you don't have to worry about what to pack!

INDIE is packed full of the knowledge that we've learned, not only from attending those NYFW conferences, but also from our years of blogging! Both of us get tons of emails asking how to do this or that, so this e-conference will hopefully answer those questions once and for all!

How does it work?
The e-conference will run throughout NYFW for 7 days. Each day will have a different focus with unique sessions for you to learn how to become a better blogger. You will learn what we learn at events like Lucky FABB and get behind the scenes views of events like Bloggers Night Out, the ModCloth/Swap Party and Fashions Night Out. You can browse through all of the sessions and parties at your own leisure. If you'd like to jump around, feel free! You can find links to each day in the left sidebar. There will also be bonus material posted throughout the conference with special videos, so keep an eye out for those goodies as well!
