About the 2013 SORMAG Online Conference
Today LaShaunda Hoffman, founder of SORMAG, is here to tell us about the SORMAG Online Conference, which will be starting November 1st, less than three weeks from now. Take it away, LaShaunda!
***************
I would like to thank Bettye for hosting me
today.
My name is LaShaunda C. Hoffman and I’m hosting the
SORMAG’s Online Conference...the one conference you don’t have to leave your
home to attend. I'd like to take this opportunity to answer a few FAQ's, so read on...
Question #1: What
is an online conference?
I created the first online conference in
1999. I wanted to attend a live
conference but I didn’t have the funds or the vacation time to attend one. I met a woman who hosted an organization
online conference and she shared how she organized it. I took her suggestions and created the first
conference. This year’s conference will
be a lot different from that first one because we've evolved over the years.
The conference is similar to a live conference the difference, being you’re online instead of in person. This conference is 24/7 which means you can stop by the blog or fan page any time of the day to participate. The phone panels are the only times you have a set time to attend.

You get the workshops on craft, business and marketing.
You have panel discussions you can participate in.
You get to meet new people.
You win prizes.
You get a goody bag.
You can buy books.
The best part about this conference is you have the
luxury of doing all of this in front of your computer and it’s all free.

Bettye,
Thank you for hosting us today. We appreciate you.
I have wanted to attend Sormag's onlineconference, but again, I have a scheduling conflict. Hopefully I'll be able to catch the next one! All the best to you!
Thanks for stopping by Sharon. You can read the blog posts later.
Are persons outside of the United States welcome to participate? I note that the required address field only has options for the US and Canada.
Thanks for stopping by JL. You are welcome to participate. You don't have to live in the US or Canada to participate.
Due to higher postage prizes that are mailed are for those registered in the US. However you are eligible for prizes that are sent through email.
Look forward to seeing you at the conference.
