Why I Would Love to Attend the 2:1 Conference

Designed with the homeschooling blogger in mind, the 2:1 Conference will be held April 27th– 29th, 2012 in Sterling, Virginia, a short distance from Washington DC.  

1. I would love to attend the 2:1 Conference because my friends are going.

How’s that for a logical reason? I tell my teens that they shouldn’t want to do everything their friends are doing and here I am, announcing to all cyberspace, that I want to go because “it’s the thing to do.”

Well, that’s not exactly true. I want to go because I would love to meet my online friends. I want to meet the amazing godly women that I talk to online, tweet with,  and am encouraged by on a  daily basis.

2. I would love to attend the 2:1 Conference because I haven’t attended a blogging conference in two years.

If you are a serious blogger, or want to be, than I think it’s important to be continually learning.

The breakout sessions sound amazing and I’m particularly interested in Blogging and PR: Connecting with Brands you Love, Monetizing Your Site and Business Blogging: Healthy Habits for Success.

3. I would love to attend the 2:1 Conference because I haven’t been to a homeschooling convention for three years.

I’ve homeschooled for 13 years. This year, my husband and I will graduate our first child with our two other children graduating one after the other.  At this point, I don’t need the encouragement to stay the course, after all, ours is almost ending. But I do need to be encouraged so I can encourage others- online and offline.  

Raising the Daniel Generation and Where is the JOY? are two sessions that especially appeal to me. 

4. I would love to attend the 2:1 Conference because I haven’t been to Washington DC in nearly 10 years.

My hope would be that my family would be able to accompany me to the 2:1 Conference in April. With its close proximity to DC, and so many free area attractions, it will make a perfect homeschool field trip!

Are you interested in attending the 2:1 Conference? Now is the perfect time to buy your ticket, which is on sale for only $199 until December 31st! 

The 2:1 Conference: Are you Going?

Last month, the Somewhat Crunchy Mom, my friend Cheryl, introduced the 2:1 Conference that is a faith based event designed for homeschool, social savvy moms or those that want to be this April in Washington D.C. I have to admit that I would love to go to this conference. I’ve wanted to go ever since I caught wind of it on Twitter - and that was before the line-up of speakers was announced! Both the keynote and breakout speakers sound incredible! And who wouldn’t welcome the chance to meet the bloggers that you read online everyday? Not to mention that Washington D.C. is an incredible place for a homeschool field trip, and one of our all time favorite vacation destinations!  Oh yeah, did I mention that I could use the encouragement?  Well anyway, as much as I’d love to attend the 2:1 Conference, I think it will take a miracle to get me there this year. But if you’re planning to go the tickets are on sale Monday only.  So don’t miss out on your chance to get in on the savings!     

Now, who’s going?

Introducing the 2:1 Conference

Have you heard about The 2:1 Conference? This is a faith based conference for you; homeschooling parents that blog (not just about homeschooling), or are otherwise interested in social media outlets like Facebook and Twitter.

Blogging is a journey and so is homeschooling; each changing with the seasons of our lives. As the seasons change, our needs do as well. Our goal at 2:1 is to equip you with the resources, encouragement and community needed to succeed in your personal journey-no matter the season.

Firmly rooted in Titus 2:1, which states "You must teach what is in accord with sound doctrine" we seek to help you strike a balance between achieving the goals of online pursuits and living a life pleasing to God. It is possible!

Mark your calendars! You don't want to miss it! The 2:1 Conference will be held in the Washington DC area, early April 2011. We will bring you dynamic speakers, interactive break out sessions, sponsors wishing to connect on a higher level and new friendships!

A website with detailed information and exciting surprises is set to launch later this month. Follow us on Twitter and Facebook so you don't miss the launch or any announcements. We are so excited about this venture and treasure your input and excitement.

If you are interested in sponsoring the conference (big or small) please email Cheryl at 2to1info @ gmail dot com

 

The 2:1 Conference is a joint venture, brought to you by Cheryl at Somewhat Crunchy Mama, Stef at The Homeschool Village, Angie at The Homeschool Classroom and Dan at Got Hands.
