It’s hard to believe its been just a few months since we announced SNAP! We are so excited about the plans that are being made and it turns out you are too!
In the last couple of weeks, the SNAP! team has received hundreds of inquiries about class and workshop ideas, as well as speaker inquiries. After thoughtful consideration, we have decided to seek your input on developing our speaker list and session topics via a “call for speakers.”
Individuals interested in suggesting a session topic or workshop idea or applying to speak should fill out the speaker application form.
Applications are being accepted until August 31, although the SNAP! team anticipates selecting speakers and extending invitations throughout the process (so get your application in early!). Selected speakers will receive full conference admission, including entrance to all parties, as compensation for speaking.
Not interested in speaking, but have some topic suggestions for our event? We are interested in your thoughts. Comment on this post and/or send your wish session wish list to [email protected] with “TOPIC SUBMISSION” in the subject line.
To thank you for your time and ideas, each person that submits a session topic, workshop idea or speaker submission by August 31. will be entered to win one night’s stay at the conference hotel (winner announced in September 2011).
Note: We are not currently accepting applications for volunteers. We anticipate opening up the application process for any open spots we may have available in October 2011.
So…we’re ready, we’re interested. LET US KNOW WHAT YOU THINK!
I would like to see more on the business side of things, such as SEO , LLC, insurance for a business, hiring outside help, doing taxes, computer programs to help track income/expenses such as quickbooks…etc…
Great ideas Trisha! We are really interested in these issues as well!
xoxo
TOPIC SUBMISSION:
Recycling, Repurposing, Reusing-I love when I read a blog and I see what they are doing without spending a bunch of money yet coming up with fun rooms, crafts, projects, gifts, etc….
That’s a great idea Lyndee. We definitely need to consider it!
xoxo
I would love to see a class on photo styling ideas/tips/tricks.
Thanks for your feedback Amy! We are looking into several photography options and this is one that has been at the top of our list! I think you can plan to see something similar to what you’ve suggested!
xoxo
I agree with Amy! I see that many conferences have the Photography 101 type of sessions, which are great, but for those of us who have (an elementary) grasp on how our camera works, a styling and lighting session would be really fun and helpful!
Jeannette, We couldn’t agree more. A styling session would be really fun!
xoxo
I would love to see a class or two on the tech side of blogging, Photoshop Elements , and photography in general.
My best- Diane
Thanks Diane! We’re considering some really fun options for photography…everything from an in-depth three-hour course to simple set-up and lighting.
xoxo
I want to add my “2 cents” but it’s already been added above! I agree with ALL of the above! 🙂
I think it would be fun to have a foodie class. So many blogs now have recipes with them. Maybe styling it for photos, OR even more fun would be a how to and let everyone there taste a sample. Have fun deciding!
Sewing classes are always on the top of my list!
We will definitely keep that in mind as we move forward!
