I&#8217;m not sure if it&#8217;s because Mom 2.0 Summit has become synonymous\u00a0with swanky, upscale, and pro level when it comes to conferences for parenting\/lifestyle bloggers or if it&#8217;s just the new experience in itself that is unnerving. Regardless, I leave on Wednesday so the pressure is building. I did attend Dad 2.0 Summit (a spin-off conference aimed towards fathers\/men) with Frans last year in San Francisco but this one is a beast of another level!<\/p>\n<h3>Mom 2.0 Summit \u2014 April 27-29, 2016 in Dana Point, CA<\/h3>\n<p>Among those in my social media circles, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mom2summit.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Mom 2.0<\/a> is THE conference to attend. Top-tier speakers are lined up (Rita Wilson was just announced for the closing keynote), amazing sponsors have signed on, and the schedule is jam-packed with workshops and helpful panels. Of course, the drool-worthy location where the conference is generally held doesn&#8217;t hurt either. This year Mom 2.0 Summit (or 2.016 as it is being called) is at the Ritz-Carton in Dana Point, CA from April 27th to 29th, and the beach looks soooooo\u00a0inviting!<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/PgFs2WD3Wjg\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>A somewhat new portion of the conference is the Hollywood-style Iris Awards ceremony. There, leaders in the blogging\/vlogging\/live streaming space are recognized for their achievements of the past year and gifted a physical award. It&#8217;s quite the posh affair and I plan on bringing the best evening wear I can muster up \ud83d\ude1b I can&#8217;t wait to find out which of my talented colleagues end up winning each category (nomination and voting periods have already passed).<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-55236\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cookiesandclogs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/https_proxy.png\" alt=\"Social Media | Marketing | Conferences | I will be attending Mom 2.0 Summit for the first time!

This year is no different. Fortunately, this wasn&#8217;t an issue for me. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kia.com\/us\/en\/home\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Kia Motors of America<\/a>, one of the conference sponsors, generously offered me one of their allotted tickets. Thanks to this, and being able to find fantastic deals for my flight and hotel stay, I will be able to attend this much-talked-about conference for the first time.<\/p>\n<h3>If you have attended before, do you have any tips\u00a0for this Mom 2.0 newbie?<\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Now, I don&#8217;t usually get nervous when I head off to conferences&#8230; but I am this time.
