Who Is The Conference For?
So, the list of bloggers that are coming to the event is growing, and you don’t want to miss out! So who is the conference for?
- Bloggers
- Freelance writers
- Financial professionals
- Social media enthusiasts
- PF groupies
If you’re in one of the groups above, you don’t want to miss out on this event!
What Will Be Happening At The Conference?
There will be a variety of sessions at the conference, and the final details are still being hashed out. But it currently looks like there will be a social/mixer on Friday night for everyone to get together and meet. Personally I’m looking forward to this because I’ve been talking with a lot of these folks for over 3 years, but never met in person.
Then on Saturday and Sunday there will be tons of sessions with a couple of keynote speakers, sessions with experienced personal finance bloggers and industry professionals, expert panels with Q&A time, and breakout sessions where a variety of topics will be covered.
So Why Should You Go To The Financial Blogger Conference?
So if you’re not already convinced to attend, here are a few more reasons why you should be going to FinBlogCon.
- You love personal finance and blogging.
- You want to meet like minded bloggers because your spouse is tired of listening to you talk about your blog – and financial topics in general
- You want to learn about new products and services in the financial industry.
- You want to learn how to build a better blog in terms of traffic, engagement, monetization
- Like me, you want to meet blogging friends face to face and network. Blogging is all about relationships and working together!
- So you can say you were there at the first annual FinBlogCon!

Sign Up For The Financial Blogger Conference Here
I am just starting my journey in the personal finance blogging world but how do I get groupies? I need to know now!
If I grow a mullet and wear tight leather pants will that help me get groupies? Please let me know what it takes to get groupies!
No clue what it takes as I have none of my own.. but let me know if you find out!
p.s. i think you should try out the whole mullet and tight pants thing – see if that works. Report back with what you find! :)
Skinny jeans are not much different tight leather pants so maybe there is a chance. Mullets already have a cult following. I am so money, groupies here I come!!!
I’ll be at the conference – looking forward to meeting everyone and learning a few things too!
Nice job with the logo!
Look forward to meeting you Tim!
I can’t believe I wasn’t on the list:). JK! I wanted to add there will be female PF bloggers there as well.
Looking forward to meeting you Peter!
Of course I look forward to meeting you as well! There will be a ton of great male and female bloggers there, and I can’t wait!
Pete,
as you mentioned I will be there! Looking forward to seeing your tall-blondness there in person!
Heh.. I look forward to meeting you as well Bob.. You’re one of my “blogging Godfathers” so to speak, one of the first Christian finance blogs I ever read, so it’ll be nice to finally meet you in person.
Not sure I can make it yet, but I never would have guess that your voice would have sounded like that…kind of weird putting a voice to the face.
I have to admit – i always feel weird when i hear my own voice. I know what you mean, i’ve talked to a few bloggers recently that I’ve known for a while, and it’s kinda weird to finally hear their voice..
Can’t wait to meet you in Chicago, Pete!
You too Ryan, it’s gonna be fun to finally meet!
It’s going to be a blast I’m sure. Looking forward to meeting you and all our other blogging friends in person. Finally!
This conference looks amazing! Definitely hope I can make it! And score a sweet new t-shirt!
