As a style blogger myself, I've always dreamed of a convention or conference of fashion bloggers, conglomerating together to share ideas and change the fashion industry and social media as we know it.Well, Chictopia beat me to the race. If you didn't know, Chictopia is an extremely popular fashion-oriented social networking community in which anyone can upload photos, blog, and share fashion ideas and tips. During New York Fashion Week this February, the company is hosting the Chictopia10 Social Influence Summit. According to the website's description:
Chictopia10 Social Influence Summit is where global online taste makers meet executives from premium brands. This half day conference and cocktail party will be feature CEO presentations and high level discussions on what forces are most influential in online brand image. Ten independent designers will also showcase exclusive products from their upcoming lines.Speakers include Susanna Lau of Style Bubble and Naomi Nevitt, a former online editor of Teen Vogue who also graduated from our own Barnard College!
Unfortunately, the event isn't free -- but you get a discount if you're a member of Chictopia and an additional 50% discount if you enter the code EarlyChic. Information on the event can be found here and tickets can be bought here. You can even apply for a lodging scholarship here, if you're not lucky enough to live in New York City!
And yes, there is an afterparty.
