KATIE: Waffles, you know that usually gets you into trouble, right?
WAFFLES: So I think you should go to BarkWorld. You know, with Glogirly.
KATIE: Waffles, are you trying to get rid of me?
WAFFLES: Uh, no?
KATIE: Waffles, you can't even count to three.
WAFFLES: Uh uuh. I'm a professional counter. One, two, three, chicken. See?
KATIE: Yeah, I see alright.
The best part of any conference is meeting new friends and catching up with old friends too. There's something very special about gathering with like-minded, animal-loving, fun-seekers. As bloggers, we spend a lot of time huddled with laptops and sharing virtual conversations. So the opportunity to connect in person is a rare and wonderful thing.
Another huge highlight of the BarkWorld conference is the opportunity to attend a wide variety of learning sessions. The landscape of digital networking, social media and even blogging is a constantly changing one and there's always something new and exciting to learn. Even us cats need to keep on top of the emerging trends.
Making connections is what it's all about. Often some of the most valuable time spent happens in-between the learning sessions. From learning about new products and the brands that represent them to comparing notes and exchanging ideas with fellow bloggers, time spent networking is time wisely spent. This is how Glogirly finds some of the cool stuff we're able to feature here on our blog.
There's no shortage of creative inspiration at the conference. The free flowing of ideas and actionable insights on how to be the best we can be gives us energy, inspiration and a spring in our step as we excitedly return home to bring those new ideas to life.
What's a fabulous conference without a little bit of bling? Katie's already got her wardrobe all planned out. And Glogirly's busy polishing the sparkle on her rhinestone cat ears.
Will You Help Us?
This blog post is part of a contest to win us a sponsored trip to the BarkWorld Expo Pet Blogging & Social Media Conference. The more buzz, comments and shares we can generate, the better chance we have of winning the trip. And if we do win, we promise to take you all along with us with daily posts and photos. Katie's firsts plane ride, a stroller tour to meet her fangirls and lots of on-the-road fun for everyone.
Thanks for your help, everyone! Paws crossed!
Awesome reasons Waffs!
ReplyDeleteGood luck! I hope you win this! My human and I aren't going this year, as it turns out - we have too much on our plates the week that Barkworld is going on and something had to give. I still get to have a trip, though! (And my human has two!)
ReplyDeleteGood Luck! We were invited to the Purina Summit which is unfortunately at the same time.
ReplyDeleteGood luck Katie I sure hope you get to go!xx Speedy
ReplyDeleteI feel like I'm already at BarkWorld what wif da crazy westies - wait, momma said it are not just barkin nutso dogs there. MOL!
ReplyDeleteKatie, dear, you absolutely MUST go to BarkWorld! You need to see old friends, meet new friends, and definitely rock your pink harness. Get out there and show the world how awesome you are, girl!
ReplyDeleteGreat reasons, we'd love to see you go and follow along. We love adventures and learning new stuff but we don't travel so we live vicariously through you, Waffles and Glogirly, paws crossed for you!
ReplyDeletePawsome reasons! Katie, you must go! We hope you win!
ReplyDeleteGood luck! The mom isn't going to BarkWorld this time, so if Katie goes, she'll be disappointed to not see her again.
ReplyDeletePaws up! We hope that Katie gets to go to BarkWorld. Even though the head peep's schedule is changing, she's still planning on being there, and she would love to see Katie there (and Glogirly, too).
ReplyDeleteKatie deserves to get away, She needs some alone time with Glogirly and Waffles will enjoy his alone time with Gloman.
ReplyDeleteHow very exciting, Katie we hope you get to go.
ReplyDeleteWaffles you have the right idea. Katie and Glogirly need to go to Barkworld. It can be a girl's trip! The men can stay at home and clean house. MOL Our vote is for Katie and Glogirly to go! Purrs, Greyson, Mr. Chivers, Tabitha and Chloe
ReplyDeleteThose are pawsome reasons, Waffles, we hope Katie get to go. Purrs
ReplyDeleteYes, it's a great idea to go. Except for the "Bark" part....
ReplyDeleteI'm still amazed that Katie is the better candidate for travel!
Go Katie go!

Mom is going - she would LOVE to see you both again :)
ReplyDeleteGood work there Waffles! Katie would rule Barkworld!
ReplyDeleteWaffles, I am sure if your Mom just says the word, she will have a sponsorship! Hope she has a great time and that your wish comes true! My Mom won't be there this year, she has 2 other trips and one of them is with Purina the same week as Barkworld.........have a blast! Love, Cody

ReplyDeleteYour friend, Pixel
And then you get to stay home and do guy stuff with Gloman!! Yes? ;) xx
ReplyDeleteYour blog is so popular that the account of Katie at BarkWorld would bring them tons of publicity. Plus, Katie gets to go on a girl's only trip!
ReplyDeleteWe hope you get there, Katie!!!
ReplyDelete# 6 Katie and Glogirly get some girly time together.
ReplyDelete#7 Waffles and Gloman get some male bonding time!
Best of luck to you guys. TW sold her ticket cos she can’t really afford it. She used to live part-time near Hotlanta and still have friends there who she hasn’t seen in over 15 years.
ReplyDeleteIt would be so awesome if Katie could attend Bark World with Glogirly - I'd love to read about their adventures!!
ReplyDeleteKatie is such an awesome ambassador. She should have her chance to greet her adoring fans. Waffles needs time alone at home for a change. We all hope Katie and Glogirly get to travel to Bark World. They would have so much fun!!!
ReplyDeleteKatie needs to expand her horizons, hope you win, you deserve it!
ReplyDeleteKatie needs to expand her horizons, hope you win, you deserve it!
ReplyDeleteI shared, I hope you win.
ReplyDeleteKatie, I'm late to the party. I hope that you and Glogirly get to go to BarkWorld. The BEST reason is to show off the bling. Make no mistake about it. Oh sure, learning new things is good too, but bling gets you photographed!
ReplyDeleteOh, you DEFINITELY deserve to go! Paws and fingers crossed for you!!
