alt summit recap & lessons learned

hi everyone! i’m going to be really honest about where i’m at in life and what that means for how often i will actually be blogging. things are CRAZY. good crazy, but crazy. i have lots going on with work, i’m in the midst of wedding planning and moving into a new apartment in the near future, along with normal, everyday life things like spending time with friends and working out.

as i mentioned recently, i had the opportunity to speak at alt summit in salt lake city last week! it was an amazing conference filled with passionate and excited creatives, bloggers and entrepreneurs. some of the highlights for me personally were speaking on the instagram panel with three uber-talented bloggers/photographers {with a packed room of attendees!}, having dinner with a fun group of ladies and tiny prints on wednesday, the fancy downton abbey party thursday night {plus admiring all of the amazing outfits}, the inspiring and actionable panel discussions and keynotes {seriously – so many awesome speakers} and just how kind and energetic everyone attending, sponsoring and participating was.

rather than share a full-on recap of the conference, i’ll let other amazing gals do the talking. below i’ve compiled some lessons from alt summit and a link to the different recap blog posts for more info. grab a cup of coffee and soak up the alt summit awesomeness in these posts this weekend! xo
