Hello lovely ladies, sorry for the delay in posting but I'm so busy and exited after the first Meet the Blogger event in Amsterdam. I hope you understand. Let me tell you the story behind the first Meet the Blogger event. It all started in January when I posted about my dream
here. We envisioned a room full of lovely blogger together sharing ideas from the online world offline. I shared the idea on my blog, Twitter and Facebook. And soon after that I contacted Holly from
Decor8 to see if she would be interested to be one of the guest speakers for the event. Soon after that she came back to me that she would love to join the event and wanted to be one of the sponsors and be part of the event team too and
Janneke joined us to work on the PR & Communciations for the event. We expected an inspiring event with let's say 25 attendees but when we started to announce the event we knew it could become bigger than that.
We came in contact with all our lovely sponsors:
VT Wonen,
Flavourites,
Kelly Hoppen,
Lily's Cupcakes,
Hotel V and
the American Book Center and thanks to their support this event was free of charge for all the attendees and we also had a lovely goodie bag in place. We had a lot of work in the last few weeks before the event but it outcome is fantastic. We had over 100 bloggers together in
Hotel V to join our event and the reactions after the event put a smile on our faces! What an inspiration and energy in one room! I personally love the fact that a small idea can grow easily with the use of social media and the internet and it's great to see how we can support eachother to live our dreams in the online and offline world. Last but not least I would like to thank you all for your endless encouragement and support!!! You made my day!!!
Q. WE ARE CURRENTLY WORKING ON NEW IDEAS AND CONCEPTS FOR MEET THE BLOGGER IN EUROPE. IF YOU HAVE ANY IDEAS OR SUGGESTIONS FOR FUTURE EVENTS, PLEASE LET US KNOW BY COMMENTING BELOW!

Wow what a lovely story! Thanks for sharing
WELL DONE LISE.
YOU DID IT.
YOU ARE A CHAMPION.
Note the use of caps to EMPHASISE my excitement.
The only thing I want to know .. which one are you? So many emails to and fro and I still don't know what you look like.
Congratulations again (-:
@Linda Thank you so much!! You'll find me in the post below with Holly: 'Holly and I' is mentioned below the pic:-)
Me again! More lovely photos.
I'd love to chat more about our idea of having one in Stockholm. There are so many talented Swedish bloggers (NB! I am not self-bragging here!! I mean other girls and boys! :))
I move in three weeks but won't be settled until early September. Happy to brainstorm with you along the way though.
Big hugs

@ Charlotta Thanks for the compliment! Great idea to have a Meet the Blogger event in Stockholm. I would be happy to chat wit you about this! Great that you will move back by the way. That makes it easier for us to meet eachother 'live' one day:-)

@All Have you heard that we are planning a next Meet the Blogger event in Berlin??
I'm with Charlotta, would love a Scandinavian version of Meet the Blogger! I would fly home for that, no doubt!! I would even volunteer to help organize... just a thought :)

How about Miami? Everyone would love Miami I am sure, and it's easy to get to from both The States, Europe and South America :)
