When Tiffany launched her first Bloggy Boot Camp in the form of SITScation, it was such a gamble. Would people come? Would the day be successful?
Lucky for us, our girl is never without vision and a talent to make things happen.
And here we are, three years and 12 Bloggy Boot Camps later, ready to launch yet another year of our blog and social media conferences for women.
The only question that remains is whether or not you are ready to join us.
Bloggy Boot Camp 2012 Blogging and Social Media Conferences Schedule
Here is the final schedule for 2012:
St. Louis, Missouri: April 21, 2012
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania: May 19 2012
Dallas, Texas: September 15, 2012

Tickets for our 2012 tour are only $99.00. We’re eliminating early, not-so-early, kinda-later ticket pricing. It’s just be one flat-rate, keeping Bloggy Boot Camp one of the most economical, but most valuable, conferences around.
Bloggy Boot Camp Program Overview
For each stop, many of the questions we receive are who the speakers are and what the topics we will be covering. One of the major changes we’ve made for 2012 is to map out exactly what the programming will look like BEFORE the tickets go on sale.

BBC Core Concepts Online
Did you just read that list of Core Concept topics and think, “Wow! I wish I could attend more than just one Bloggy Boot Camp. Tiffany and Francesca rock my world.”
{OK. I embellish.}
If you’re interested the education and fantastic take aways from all four Bloggy Boot Camp stops next year, then consider signing up for our online option. For only $25 more over the ticket price, you’ll have access to all of our Core Concept presentations via live webinars.
Each webinar will take place 7 to 10 days after the live event and will be available in real time, and in recorded version. What this means is that you can actively participate in the live webinars, or simply watch the recorded versions at your convenience.
We’ll also be launching a private section of our discussion forum just for these select attendees! {Totally cool, right?}
If you can’t join us for any of the live events, and are only interested in the webinar series, we will be opening up registration for this option soon. Stay tuned to The SITS Girls for more details.

way cool!
Since I live in the San Francisco Bay Area, I’m thinking the Vegas one would be great. However, I’ve never been to Vegas and it seems that whenever I try to plan a trip everything falls apart! Next October seems very far away. Hmmmm…
I love love love love love Bloggy Boot Camp! Attend one if you can; you won’t regret it!
I’m so there!
I’m so excited! I already bought my ticket for Vegas next year! If you haven’t been to Bloggy Boot Camp before, you should definitely try to go! You won’t regret it!
Great opportunity! I will try to be at one of them.
Would love to be able to make it to STL! Thanks Ladies!
STL is Obviously closest to me but VEGAS? Omg! I might have to pretend to forget about STL so I can go to Vegas!
So exciting! I may very well sign up for the online option (unless I win a lottery, ha ha).
Core concepts in Dallas and STL are more what I am interested in than the ones in Vegas where I live. Hmm. Too bad I won’t be able to afford to go to either Dallas or STL. Since I’m already in Vegas I’ll likely be attending that.
You can get those core concepts in the webinar version. Just a $25 if you buy a ticket to any boot camp.
Come to Arizona pretty please!!
I have never been to a conference for blogging and am seriously considering going to Las Vegas. Are Bloggy Boot Camps good for newbies? Thanks!
Does it matter that my blog is not a business, but I would like to monetize it in the future?
Boot Camps are great for newbies, as well as more seasoned bloggers. We talk about ways to get creative and think “out of the blog” when it comes to monetization.
Thanks Tiffany. I got my ticket and committed a year in advance. Now I can’t miss it.
Looking forward to the tickets going on sale. I LOVED BBC San Diego!
Attending my first BBC next month in Atlanta and I can’t wait! This online option add-on seems like an awesome thing! Great opportunity!
Thanks ladies!

This sounds really great.
so awesome – there is so much one can glean from an event like this – have a great time girls!
I sure plan to be there in April when you come to St. Louis!
Great! We can’t wait- never been to St. Louis!
Definitely the Dallas even in September!!!! This will also be the first conference. I hope to see, and meet, a lot of you there!!!
Blogfully yours,
Barb
Why yes….yes I am!!! #VegasBaby!!!!
This looks marvelous! Glad you are coming to the Big D!
Can’t wait!
Do you have a post up with the scheduled list of topics for BBC Atlanta in October of this year?
Coming soon!
Hey SITS ladies
Wish you did a bloggy boot camp in the UK!!!!
Come visit us this side of the ocean

I am soooo flipping excited. Of course I’m going. I just wish I could go to ALL of them.
MMMMMMM….Las Vegas isnt that far from where I live!!!!
I would love to attend!! I can’t commit at this time, but I also like the webinar idea. However, I would much rather meet in person.
Man oh man, I could write a post on what I learned at bloggy boot camp chicago.
A POST.
I really should.
I learned the important stuff. Like: you didn’t think I’d tell you, did you?
Saving it for my post, sister.
xo
I am 99% sure I will be at the one in St. Louis and toting my baby around. She will be around 6 months old at the time of the conference.
Thanks for letting me bring her with me. I will be saving my pennies to pay for my ticket… I can’t wait!!!
I’m a Philadelphia based blogger and am super excited about the Philly one! Let me know if there is anything I can do!
Wish I could go! Maybe I will do the webinars. They seem worth it. I am not new to blogging, but am selling old sites and starting a new one. I could use this advice.
Wishing on stars that I could at least have the $$ to access these webinars. I’m an amateur blogger, looking for my place in this BIG blogging world!
This is an awesome site and I am looking around more tonight. Thanks for helping people like me learn the ways to blog best!
Sorry I had no idea of this event in Denver and sorry I missed it. The larger food blogging conferences have zero appeal for me and my boss at my ‘real’ job doesn’t let me leave often…and that boss would be me!
I have a friend already signed up for Dallas 2012 and that’s just hop down the road for me. I am seriously thinking I’m gonna do it.
I’m just so new at this…like maybe less than a month old…and I’m not even sure what I’m doing half the time. However, surely by next year, huh?!?
The more I read…the more I want to.
Who am I kidding. I’ll be there.
Relatively decent put up. We really located your current web page along with needed for you to express that will We have extremely loved checking your current web log along with threads. However I’ll always be checking your current supply along with My spouse and i desire for you to read through your current web log yet again.
Regards for sharing 301 Moved Permanently with us keep update bro love your article about 301 Moved Permanently .
I’m going! SO. VERY. EXCITED!!

Oh how I wish I could go..sounds like so much with so much info.
Well I am seriously considering going to the Philadelphia Boot Camp in May. I am turning 40 this year and this is my year to get serious about things I would like to do and accomplish. My blog is going to be high on the priority list. I live a little over an hour away and its weighing on me to sign up. Anyone else from Philly and surrounding areas going?
We’ve got quite a few Philly/New Jersey ladies attending.
We will start a twitter group in a few weeks.
Let us know if you have any questions!
Tiffany
I’m attending – traveling all the way from Albany, NY! I’ll be rolling in on the Amtrak and I couldn’t be more excited. My professorly hubs is attending, too – he’s a comp/rhet guy, and he’s super interested in the blogosphere. Him and a ton of lovely ladies… should be interesting.
SO excited to be joining you in Philly! I’ve undergone a huge blogging transition, from my own personal self hosted blog to my current gig as a blogging personality for the local newspaper (Albany Times Union, Albany, NY.) I’m particularly interested in the hyper-local blogging bit; I could write a book on this from all I have learned in the past 7 months as a local newbie blogger for the Times Union!
I’m pumped, ladies!
I desperately want to go to the Dallas Conference! If anyone is interested in a room buddy I would be happy to oblige!! I cannot wait until September to see what the future holds for my blog
Ok, ok. I think I am IN! Vegas, baby. It’s only a $200-ish ticket away!

Looking forward to 2012 Online Core Concepts … I got the season pass!
