Our home during our stay in Chicago, Hotel Felix.
The lobby at Hotel Felix, I’m dying over this birch-wood wall decor.

After set-up, I spent the day live-tweeting each speaker’s presentation (Check out #GBSxCHI to catch up)!

October 31st marked our second annual Go Blog Social Chicago Pop Up conference. While our two-day conferences in Kansas City hold a special place in my heart, I love hosting our pop-up conference in Chicago. The bustling city backdrop and the addition of new faces joining the blogging community invigorate my love for this community. No longer do we just host bloggers, but we have many women (and some men) who are starting their own small businesses, podcasts or social media companies.
This year, Hotel Felix graciously hosted our team and were beyond accommodating as we raced around town on Friday prepping for Saturday’s event. The boutique hotel provided first-class amenities, complimentary wi-fi, a business center, and the most charming lobby/bar area in addition to a state-of-the-art fitness center and full-service spa (which I full intended to test out the next time I’m in Chicago).
Our sold-out conference was held at City View Loft with catering provided by LM Catering. We hosted six amazing speakers (not to brag, but our speakers kicked some serious ass). Of course, we wouldn’t have been able to host such an event without the help of our sponsors who made this event possible and allowed our attendees to leave with some awesome swag bags.
Stay tuned for our 2016 line up for Go Blog Social!
