I can’t rave enough about this collective called Alt Design Summit, where bloggers are supported and armed with the knowledge to become successful.  I was indirectly introduced to their yearly conference through this post which lead to many stories of an inviting, encouraging, positive, and outrageously fun-filled learning event. The type of experience that not only enriches ones life through education, but as a foundation for networking and building of friendships. I knew, I absolutely had to be a part of this conference, only to learn that the next one wasn’t until January 2013. ugh!  So imagine my joy when I learned that they also offer year round classes -on a variety of blogger inspired online courses for only $15!  I’ve taken three so far, with plans of participating in many more.

Alt recently surprised the blogosphere with news of a mini-Alt in NYC. We must #thankBING for their generous sponsorship of the August workshop!  Unfortunately for me, it sold completely out in 4 hours! Here’s hoping BING finds it in their “pockets” to sponsor more of these mini- Alt’s, leading up to the big one in Utah.  If you haven’t heard about Alt and are an aspiring blogger or creative type (or wannabe, like me) check out a class or two here.  These are the classes I’ve taken so far.
