We’re kicking off National Social Media Day a bit early…After receiving hundreds of emails, Facebook requests and Tweets, we are thrilled to announce the dates for the second annual SNAP! Conference for creative DIY bloggers.
SNAP! will take place April 18-20, 2013. We will be returning to Utah.
We’re excited to let you know that we:
- will have MORE classroom space, including BIGGER rooms
- will continue to provide attendees with the BEST food EVER (snacks, two lunches and three dinners)
- worked with the hotel to INCREASE the number of rooms available and DECREASE the nightly rates
- arranged for a HUGE discount on travel from the airport
Ticket Sales
Tickets for SNAP! 2013 will go on sale Tuesday, September 18, at 9:00 a.m. MST. A discount of $50 will be applied to the first 50 tickets sold with the code FIRST50.
- Full conference tickets with first 50 discount will be $200
- Full conference tickets at regular price will be $250
- Full conference tickets will be $300 after December 18
Detailed Location and Hotel Information
We’re thrilled with the new space plans we’re working on and will be providing more information about the venue and hotel booking information mid-August.
In the meantime, please expect room rates to come in at about $100 per suite, including free in-room internet.
Call for Ideas and Speakers
Expect to see a call for ideas and speakers in mid-September. We will be looking for a wish-list of what you’d like to learn and what you’d like to share. Please keep in mind that we do hope to bring fresh faces to the table every year – a large percentage of our speakers will be new to SNAP!
If you’re planning to attend and have purchased a ticket that can increase your chance of speaking. If you have a ticket and are selected to speak, the full ticket price will be refunded to you.
Aaaahhh I’m so excited! I missed SNAP 2012 and I’ve been regretting it ever since; I’m definitely planning to go in 2013!
Shoot Jessi. Sorry we didn’t get to meet this year, but mark your calendar and get ready to go…We’re gearing up for an even better event!
xoxo, Tauni
Woot woot!!! Looking forward on coming in 2013!!!!!
Kristine, I will chime in with another Woot! So excited to finally be sharing this news. I’ve been holding it in for two months now and I am terrible at keeping secrets (as anyone who’s been around me at all the last two months can attest to).
xoxo, Tauni
Tauni~
Enjoyed your session at Haven! SNAP! sounds wonderful……
Duane, Thanks so much for your sweet comment. I enjoyed attending and meeting everyone at Haven. Such fun. I only wish we all could have chatted more. I really felt like we just barely scratched the surface…Would love to have you out to SNAP! next spring if you can make it!
xoxo, Tauni
Tauni–is it Wednesday, Sept 19th or Tuesday, September 18th? I just want to mark my calendar and noticed that.
Abbey, Thank you so much for catching my typo – how embarrassing. Tickets will go on sale TUESDAY, September 18. Eventually I am going to learn not to try and type important messages (or really any) in the middle of the night!
xoxo, Tauni
You’re so sweet, Tauni! You should have seen that alert for this I left in calender just now. I was so excited I typed something in Klingon I’m sure!! 🙂
THRILLED! Hope I can get there this year!!!
Myra, I hope we can get you out to SNAP! too. AND I wouldn’t mind meeting your cute little baby too. Remind me when your due date is??? I really wish I would have spent more time with you last week. Nevertheless, I have to say you are as darling in person as I expected.
xoxo, Tauni
YAY so excited!!! I will be there with rings on my fingers and bells on my toes and most likely chocolate lollies!!! LOL!!
I look forward to your chocolate lollies, Laura! Yum! 🙂
Laura, Those chocolate lollies were such a hit my got nabbed. I tell you what next year I will be shoving it in my mouth before anyone can sneak it away. LOL. Thank you for being such a great support and sharing the news of SNAP! on your blog! I feel lucky to have met you in Az a couple of years ago. You are simply wonderful.
xoxo, Tauni
This is gonna be amazing! I can’t wait!
Jess, I have to say SNAP! 2013 is going to be BEYOND amazing. I can’t wait to start sharing the fun details.
xoxo, Tauni
I can’t wait for you to either!!!
Beyond excited!!
Thanks M. Everyone has been so sweet with their comments I am a little beyond excited myself! xoxo, Tauni
Shut UP!!! I’m so excited, Tauni! Putting this on the calendar ASAP. 🙂
I can’t wait to see what’s in store for next year! If you need any help (even though I’m far away) I would be happy to oblige!
Michele, I have to tell you that your comments are the best ever. They make me happy every time I read them. I can’t think of a better way to help me out…Of course, now that you’ve offered I will definitely be keeping it in mind 🙂
By the way, I am a little slow on getting packages out, but I finally popped that frame in the mail the other day. So sorry for the delay!
xoxo, T.
You are the BEST, Tauni!! The frame arrived today. Thank you SO much!! 🙂 You rock!
I have marked my calander! I came this year and my blog has already grown by leaps and bounds! It was all so inspiring!
Yay Katie! I am glad you are coming, but I am even happier to hear that you are having success with your blog. So happy for you!!!
xoxo, Tauni
Yay! I’ll have to figure out how to get registered from a cruise ship in Alaska though.
WHA?! A cruise ship in Alaska, how fun is that?! If it comes down to the wire and we need to make special arrangements let me know. I don’t want you to miss out on your ticket!
xoxo, Tauni
Hmm… Sounds very interesting
Tracey, It’s such a fun time. Let me know if you have any questions.
xoxo, Tauni
My husband now thinks I’m crazy after doing the excited dance all around the house! I seriously can’t wait, it’s going to be so amazing! We will be buying our tickets right at 9! Tauni, we would love to help any way we can!
Jen, Thank you for doing a happy dance all over the house…You brought a smile to my face 🙂
xoxo, Tauni
I can’t wait! I had such a fabulous time at the first one. Since I’m local- I opted to go home each night. BIG mistake! This time I’ll plan to stay in the hotel so I can get all the great social benefits- I missed some of the fun. If you’re local and planning to go- plan to stay at the hotel if you can!
Hahaha. Cynthia, I have made that same mistake several times. There really is nothing like staying at the conference hotel and we’re hoping to make this year better than EVER!!!
xoxo, Tauni
Thanks, Tauni! I loved meeting you at Haven and have been anxiously waiting for the Snap Conference info. I’m already getting excited about it!
Oh my gosh. I LOVED meeting you too. In fact, lunch that second day was a highlight for me.
xoxo, Tauni
ok – the ticket sale date is ON MY CALENDAR! this is too exciting – there’s NO WAY i’m missing it this year! thanks for the announcement!
xo,
Kimberly
Yay! Glad we’ve made your calendar!!! Looking forward to “seeing” you bright and early on Sept. 18!
xoxo, Tauni
Wahoo!!!! Going to SNAP this year was one of the BEST experiences for me! I made so many new friends, and learned SO MUCH! I can’t wait to get my ticket for next year!!!
Kristy, You are one of my favorite people of all time. I adore you.
xoxo, Tauni
Reminder is set in my phone! Yay!!! Love me some SNAP!
Ashley:)
Ashley, That’s what I like to hear! I will “see” you bright and early Sept. 18!
xoxo, Tauni
after going this year, i certainly will not miss 2013! so excited!
Eeeek!! I put Registration day on my calendar already. I’ll be all stalky like those old Mervyn’s ads waiting for it to Open Open Open. 🙂 I do NOT want to miss out after the amazing conference this year!!
Tauni I just have to say you are the best!! Thank you so much for all your work and time!
So exciting! I am dying to go to a conference and would love to attend SNAP!
Ok. Totally dumb question, but having lived in CST my whole life, I am not familiar with MST. And I don’t want to plug the wrong time into my calendar!!!
So that’s 10am CST (8am PST/11am EST) just so I am not mistaken?
SO exciting!!!! Really planning to make it this year! 🙂
Yeow!!! Got a reminder set on my phone! Woot! Woot! Missed 2012. But will not miss 2013!! Queen Bee Market please be there. :)! Can’t wait to meet all these beautiful, intelligent, and inspiring ladies!
So stinkin’ excited!! The perfect cure for the Haven blues!!! So great to meet you last week and will be planning to get my serious craft on with all the amazing women of SNAP!! Woo-Hoo!!
Hi Tauni-
Just marked both dates on my calendar and drew lots of stars around the days 🙂 – I will not miss SNAP this year! I enjoyed meeting you at Haven and getting to sit and talk with you at dinner on Friday night.
My best- Diane
OMG so excited!!!!! Seriously this is just a few days before our anniversary, can you say win win?? This one is going on my iCal NOW!
Counting the days!
YIPPEE SKIPPEE!!!
Thank you for the heads up, I am so excited Tauni! It was so fun meeting you in person the other day too. 🙂
Since I missed the one this year, I will try my hardest to be at SNAP! 2013!
Tauni! I’m going to have to consider SNAP for 2013. It was so lovely to meet you at Haven! 🙂
Eeek! I am definitely going this year! I felt like I was missing out this year by not going. Can’t wait!
Ooh! I’m going to give this a shout out to my readers…got lots of the Utah gals, so they should be able to attend!
Maybe I can come too! hee hee!
CANNOT.WAIT.!!!!! I was just coming over here to grab your link for my Haven post and saw this super duper announcement (since I’m always late to the game)!! But I’m going to try my hardest to not be late to the ticket-buying game because this girl loves a discount!!! Seriously, Haven was my first conference and now I’m already going to BlogHer and looking for more! Let me know if you need any help with Snap! If I could tell my hubby that I was the official envelope stuffer or something then he would have to agree that I must go!! Thanks so much for all your work to make this happen!
Hmm… the tickets go on sale on my birthday… perhaps I can sweet talk someone into making that my birthday present this year! I really want to come and check things out, I have so much to learn!
OH MY GOSH!!! I’m so excited!! I will NOT miss this time around!! I have my calender alarms set of September 18th and I’m saving my bloggy dollars!! I would still LOVE to contribute swag again! I’ll have plenty of time to actually make swag bag goodies!
Just marked both dates on my calendar! As a newer blogger I am excited to attend my first blogging conference and plan to be at SNAP 2013! Especially after following along with all of the incredible posts about this years SNAP and HAVEN…I dont want to miss it!
Hi, Tauni!
I have a quick question for you (and any of last year’s attendees that might want to chime in). I shut down my blog and was wondering if you think this conference would be a good fit for someone who sells handmade, but doesn’t blog. What “benefits” (for lack of a better word) could a business owner expect? Are there workshops, lectures, etc. geared toward selling or would you say it’s mostly blogging?
Thanks!
-Cath
Catherine, I am not sure if this will help, but I am going to tell you what I think…
SNAP! is a social media and blogging conference, so most of the classes are geared toward blogging. Having said that, you could probably benefit from photography, photo styling, branding, FB and Twitter, etc. and the knowledge you could gain from asking other handmade business owners questions in person.
Truthfully though if you came, I believe the biggest benefit to you would be all the networking you would be able to do with bloggers – the best people to help get the word out about your product (besides you).
Does that help?
xoxo, Tauni
It does. Thank you for a thoughtful & thorough response, Tauni.
Good luck with making a decision. You might get more community input on the FB page or event page…
xoxo, Tuani
Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy, I’m so excited…. I’m definitely going to be stalking registration come September 18.:) This is one conference that is most likely going on my agenda for next year. Trying to limit conference travel and really shake things up with a couple different venues…. but SNAP 2012 was such a great experience that I can’t imagine not coming in 2013.:)
Wow. Thanks for your sweet words my friend. I will be limiting my conference travel next year as well, but I do hope to see you! xoxo Tauni
Woohoo! So excited to have the dates this far in advance. Spring Break belongs to me this year and the Grandparents will be home from the Mish so I can be kid free! Time to start rounding up a SoCal carpool 🙂
I can’t wait! This will be my first ever blog conference!! Woot!
Jo-Anna
I’m REALLY hoping to come! I’ve launched my new blog/website and am in serious need of some pointers!!! 🙂
Donna, I hope you’re able to make it. We’re really excited about what’s planned for 2013.
xoxo, Tauni
When I attended Haven I heard all about SNAP! I can’t wait to be there! Got ticket now awaiting the rest of the details. Very excited!!
Deneen, We’re excited to have you! We sold out so quickly, there are are more than 150 people on the wait list. I am trying to do a bit of shuffling to fit them in and will be sending more details once that is settled. You can expect to hear about the event about once a month via email.
xoxo, Tauni
Thanks I am waiting for my emails!!!
So When I log on to sign up, I am put on a waiting list!
Have I missed my chance to join in on the conference? What is the likelihood of more spots opening up? I JUST heard about this conference this weekend!
Lindsay, Amazingly our tickets sold out in just a few hours. Please add your name to the wait list. I am doing everything I can to try and figure something out. xoxo, Tauni
QBM this year? I did the show in Carlsbad this Dec. and I loved it!
Alissa, We’re actually working out the details as we speak. Watch the site for an announcement. xoxo. Tauni
Could you let me know where I can get on a waiting list for SNAP? Also, when are the dates typically announced for the next SNAP?
Chelsea, Unfortunately we are over booked for our 2013 event and are no longer able to take names for the wait list. We anticipate announcing 2014 dates in June and tickets should go on sale in September. This year tickets sold out in four hours, be sure to check in and register early! Thanks! Tauni
