Since BlogHer’12, is being held on the East Coast this year in New York, I am taking full advantage and attending the conference, featuring influential women, brands, news-makers and online communities.

I’m looking forward to finding some of the best new products both in the online writing world, as well as on the consumer front to share with you all when I get back. And, hopefully a few giveaways, too!

As a journalist and lifestyle writer, I am so excited about the two luncheon speakers this year — Katie Couric and Martha Stewart! But, what I’m even more excited about is the opportunity to interview Karen Berner, Taste of Home‘s food editor on Saturday.

There are tons of parties and extra events going on, too, which of course are fun, but the educational program look like they will be a good way to further my writing and social media skills.

If you’re attending, tweet me, because I would love to meet you! @theadkchick
