Speaking at BlogHer Pro!

I am very excited to be speaking at BlogHer Pro in Silicon Valley this month!

If you’re thinking “Wait, didn’t you just get back from BlogHer?!” Yes, I did go to BlogHer ’13, which is for anyone who blogs. BlogHer Pro is focused on people who use their blogs for business.

Myriam Joire and I will be discussing DIY mobile strategy tips like how to make sure your site’s design and content work well across a variety of platforms and how to prepare for whatever comes next in tech and for your site.

When they were planning this session, someone at BlogHer must have said, “Stephanie knows design, but she doesn’t know so much about the actual devices and techy whatnot. I bet she hasn’t updated her phone since iOS 5.* Get on the red phone and call Myriam! She’s like the encyclopedia of mobile gadgetry. She’s probably wearing at least 3 mobile devices right now.”**

Okay, they may not have used those exact words (especially not “techy whatnot”), but I’m very glad they made that call. That is a knowledge base I do not have, and I’m honored to share the stage with Myriam.

So, in just a few weeks, I’m headed out to the Bay Area! I’ll be staying with my sweet friend Sangeeta, who has been trying to get me to come visit for years. (When I was in her area last year, she was in Phoenix. Oh, the irony!) Before and after the conference, I’ll spend a little time catching up with people and visiting San Francisco.

The trickiest thing about it all is the timing.

I’m currently very involved with Ignite Phoenix, and our next event is October 18, which is less than a week before I’m speaking at BlogHer Pro. So this month is going to be is already hectic.

But it’s an amazing opportunity, and I know it will be worth it.

*Not true. I’m on 5.1.1. Yeah, I should probably upgrade before the conference.
