‘Let’s Blog Abruzzo’  is a 2-day June 2013 bloggers conference in the heart  of the breathtaking Italian region of Abruzzo that provides inspiration and technical instruction for bloggers of all levels and niches- personal, food, travel and business. It’s also the perfect opportunity to make new introductions, business contacts and referrals.

9 workshops are scheduled over the weekend whose core subjects  include:

- Copy-writing

- Photography
- Search Engine Optimisation
- Social Media
- Analytics
- Integrated Marketing
- Online PR
- WordPress

Venue

blogAway will convene for 2 days in the old Medici hilltop town of Santo Stefano di Sessanio, 1250 masl, described by The NY Times as ‘poetically aged’ and selected as one of ‘I Borghi piu belli d’Italia’.  It sits on Campo Imperatore, Italy’s ‘Little Tibet’ which the UK Times included in its Top 10 Adventures of a Lifetime.  The weather in early June is dry and the average temperature is  30C.

Just 1¾ hours from Rome or from Abruzzo International Airport in Pescara makes the conference inviting to the Italian, International and European blogger.  Accommodation starts at just €30 per night per person, but we have a generous discount from Sextanio which enables guests to experience this unique & boutique scattered hotel at €150 per double room per night including breakfast.

Dates & Passes

The 2-day weekend workshop  is held on 1st-2nd June 2013 and consists of  9 workshops, each 1.5 hours in length.

    I would love to join you next weekend, but unfortunately the timing was not right for me. Wish you the best of luck for the conference! I shared your site and som information about the conference on my travelblog norskereiseblogger.no today, so hopefully I contributed to spread the word about blogAway and lestBlogAbruzzo to many norwegian travelbloggers. Hope to join you next time :)
