Join Me at MomFair LIVE + A Ticket Giveaway

True story – MomFair helped me land a job several years ago! Yes, that’s right, several years ago I met Lynn Perkins (CEO & co-founder of UrbanSitter) at MomFair. She was giving a panel presentation with several other entrepreneurs. Afterwards, we had a quick meeting out on the patio & later on she put me in touch with the Los Angeles hiring manager. I was hired within several weeks.

Fast-forward to 2016 & MomFair LIVE is going to be taking place on January 31st at UCLA’s beautiful Carnesale Commons! MomFair LIVE is where you will have the opportunity to network with more than 50 speakers, experts, mentors, hiring managers & coaches all under one roof with 200+ like minded moms for a day!

If you are returning to work, want to work from home, transitioning your career, find flexwork, start a business, write a book, get better work life balance or gain new work skills then this event is for you! Attendees will learn things like how to develop an action plan for your career, personal branding, LinkedIn strategies, interview skills & much, much more!

So getting back to those speakers, experts & mentors that I had mentioned earlier on. You’ll hear from authors, Jenny Feldon & Jess Weiner. If you follow my blog, then you’ll recall the time that I heard Jess speak at a conference last year. She was SO inspiring that I wanted to pay it forward by raffling off one of her books on my blog! Who else will be at MomFair LIVE? Jennifer Berson, founder of Jeneration PR; Samantha Ettus, work life balance expert; Jill Simonian, TV Host/Blogger; Joanna McFarland, CEO of HopSkipDrive; Jenn Moore, CMO of ModernMom; Katie Rinderknecht, Head of Babble; and many others!

Panel topics/workshop sessions include:

• Book Writer’s Workshop
• Launching a Startup
• The Benefits of Blogging {perhaps I should be on the panel too?! ;)}
• Your Digital Footprint
• The Non-Profit Sector
• Dusting off Your Resume, Returning to the Workplace
• Having it All without Doing it All
• Working in Digital Media

If you are like me, you’ll want to know what to expect throughout the conference. Check out the schedule here over at MomFair.com. Not only are there going to be fab speakers, but at MomFair there will be an actual job fair, with hiring managers & recruiters from LA based companies who are looking for talented employees. MomFair’s partners like JVS, Maybrooks and OptIn will be on site too, to talk about what is currently happening in the hiring market. Another fun perk in attending MomFair LIVE? The opportunity to get your headshot professionally taken by The Headshot Truck! I know that my headshot is in need of a revamp, so I plan on hitting up this vendor ASAP! 🙂

Sounds great, right?! So how do you get into the conference? Details & ticket info can be found here at: http://momfair.com/momfair-live. I hope you’ll join me & MomFair co-founders, Laura Gerson & Galite Shafer on January 31st!
