**Editor’s note: I’ve made a few updates after attending the 2014 Go Blog Social conference!
- Business cards. You are going to network, after all. I ordered mine through Zazzle with one of their easy to use pre-made templates. Considering I didn’t have to commit to the design forever, the price was right.
- All Apple everything. iPad and iPhone + their respective chargers. I also brought along a spare portable charger because I tend to get a little picture happy and that sucks the life out of my battery. Plus, I avoided having to plug mine into the outlets around the room.
- Planner + Notebook + Pens. I rarely go anywhere without my planner and a notebook + pen were a must to jot down notes and bits of inspiration during the conference.
- H2O. The bkr Bottle comes in so many snazzy colors and it’s a decent size. The gals over at GBS had us covered in the way of delicious food, proof here.
- Camera – pictures galore.
- A carryall bag. To toss everything listed above into and to store all of the goodies you will pick up at the conference!
You can read my recaps on Go Blog Social here, here and here.One last thing – The first ever KC Blogger Brunch is this weekend, hosted by the lovely ladies from Hello Cheeseburger, The Adored Life and Tulip. These gals have put so much work into the event and I can’t wait to see it all come to life! Follow along with us on Instagram and Twitter using #KCBloggerBrunch. Happy Thursday!

Hey Jessica! I’m going to be at GoBlog, too! So excited to meet you in person! I’m glad I read your list, too, because I probably would have forgotten some of this stuff:) Let me know how I can also be part of the KC Blogger Brunch. It’s probably too late to join this time, but keep me posted about the next event:)
Thanks for the great tips, Go Blog Social will be my first conference!
Also looking forward to the KC Blogger Brunch, it’s going to be a great couple of weeks!

It sounds like you’re completely set for the conference! I love the carryall that you snagged on sale, it seems like the perfect size to fit everything you need for the day! I also have the same planner from the Sugar Paper x Target collection, it’s the perfect size and definitely keeps me organized! I’m excited to hear how the conference goes, it sounds like so much fun!
Ps. So thrilled I stumbled across your blog! Following along via Bloglovin’ now!

Hi Jen! I got the bag in the mail yesterday and let out a little squeal. The colors makes me so excited for spring! The planner is the best one I’ve owned to date, probably because it has so much room! I can’t wait to let you all know how the conference goes.
p/s I’m following along with you now too 🙂
Hi Alexandra!! I’m looking forward to meeting you as well! It sounds like it’s going to be a great weekend. See you soon 🙂
