There are personal finance brands there you can connect with in addition to many others that might be on the periphery.  It's how I connected with Tempur-Pedic and ended up getting a bed to review and then also giveaway one.

 

The content is fantastic and they even have hands-on small group sessions with experts on writing, coding, etc.

It was really great and useful then. But as a PF blogger I probably wouldn't go. I think the other niche PF blogger conferences would be better. Well, I would guess so but I haven't been to one yet. I really want to this year!

I remember her saying that she was the only PF blogger there. You can ask her for more insight on the conference.

I know that Kay Lynn has gone (she always brags about the swag lol). Is it going to be in NYC this year?

Essentially, she said that it is worth going if you know you'll have other blogger-friends there you can network with/hang out with.
