Here’s how the conference will work:

After registering, you will receive an email with a link to our exclusive online conference community site, where you can start networking with other attendees, getting questions ready to ask the speakers, and register for the different panels we will have.

This is how the sessions will go:

●      Before each session, hop on to the conference forum site and share questions you’d like the speaker to answer during the session and get your schedule for the sessions you will be attending (you can attend all, some, or none of the sessions – recordings will be provided after the conference).

●      After you register and get access to the conference forum site, there you’ll see the information for each speaker’s session. Each speaker’s session will be done via an online live video. You’ll be able to view the presenter live, as well as communicate with other attendees and the speaker in an attached chat room!

●      After the planned portion of each session, there will be a Q&A time. Each attendee logged in, will be able to type in questions for the speaker. If you’re unable to attend a session, make sure to post your question on the session’s specific message board ahead of time – that way your question will be answered and recorded, and you can hear it on the session recording you will be provided with (all sessions will be recorded).

And don’t forget that you’re also getting:

●      Access to all session recordings and speaker slides and handouts.

●      Access to all session transcripts – in case you prefer to read the information instead of listen or watch it.

●      Entry into all the virtual giveaways and swag bags!

Last week was a bitter sweet moment for me and my time with Girls in Tech, San Francisco. It was my last event with the chapter before I relocate next month, but it was by far my personal favorite!  I sat down in front of an oh-so-fashionable audience and had a conversation with the amazing San Francisco fashion blogger Jennine Jacob of The Coveted.

My first blog post for Girls in Tech was about Jennine and her blog that I just fell in love with and visited daily to get the scoop on outfit ideas, new designers, local shops and more. I thought, what better way to end my years volunteering for Girls in Tech with one-on-one talk with Jennine to learn about her successful blog, her amazing Independent Fashion Bloggers Network and other ventures she’s starting.

Jennine modestly walked us through her blogging career that we all see as an amazing success. She is well-known in the San Francisco blogger community, was just featured in San Francisco’s 7×7 Magazine and IFB has a huge membership and is actively involved in New York Fashion Week.

She explained that The Coveted was not an overnight success, but something she worked at for a long time and built her following organically. She gave inspirational tips for new bloggers on how to gain readership, how to get involved in their online communities and how to best monetize their blogs without ads splashed all over.

It was a great event that I was looking forward to after months of execution and planning. I thank Jennine for taking the time to share her journey with our Girls in Tech San Francisco members and other local aspiring bloggers.

Thanks also to the Sandbox Suites for the fantastic venue and to Laura Jane Iriarte for photographing the event! Take a look!

“Now who says fashion isn’t an intellectual discipline?” Jennine asks her readers who are devoted to Coveted. Not many would disagree that there’s much to be said about Cynthia Rowley’s resort collection, or if anyone will be gutsy enough to rock a head dress, and how a buy/sell/trade store can be a treasure chest of finds. Although Jennine advises, “… it’s not worth it to buy used Forever21…even though I have done it.”

She is not a designer at Karl Lagerfeld’s studio writing from lofty industry knowledge. Her honesty, candor, and some self deprecating humor has pulled readers into her world of fashion which is relevant, relate-able, and fun. Her captivating and witty writing style along with her knowledge of the industry (mainly through being a shopaholic and world traveler) makes readers feel like they are like minded fashionistas too with the same realities. “I knew I wanted to wear makeup as long as I could remember, but applying it was always another story.”

Jennine has taken a life long passion and grown it through the beautiful, intricate, and accessible world of technology. The Coveted has been featured on Glamour, IQONs, Modepass, and Pronto and she has since founded the Independent Fashion Bloggers Network. It is what can happen when you combine passion, talent, and technology and it could be you! Fashion Police and Fashion Criminals alike will benefit from learning about Jennine’s path to blogging success.

She has a chronic dilemma though “….muffin top! Every time I wear jeans, it always boils down to a choice between muffin top or saggy bottom.” Jennine’s dedication to denim has inspired another blog called Eat Sleep Denim. Where will this end? What is the future for Jennine? How will she scale her business? I’m excited to find the answers at the Girls in Tech event July 21^st. Are you?

A special thanks to our hosts Sandbox Suites, Bay Area’s premier provider of affordable, flexible, on-demand shared office space for entrepreneurs, independent professionals and small businesses.  What better place to corral a group of budding entrepreneurs?
