Sheffield's Blogger Network and True North Brew put on a bloggers event at The Forum this week and my lovely friend Julie invited me along.
It was my first bloggers event actually and one that i'd love to attend again.
The Forum is the perfect venue space for an event like this - it was held in the seating area to the left hand side of the bar, which meant that the rest of the public could carry on drinking on the other side.
There's a raised platform / stage area which was perfect for showcasing presentation slides on a huge screen behind. Plus with the seating arrangements made it a great social event, whilst still being able to interact with the speaker.
Jess Bridgeman from Don't Fret Club spoke at the event about content strategy and social media and although most of what she spoke about made sense to me because of my day job, it was good to have a few minutes to listen and think about applying those tactics to my blog.
The team put together a raffle to end the night and I was lucky enough to win a True North Brew Gin Set (below) complete with Sheffield Dry Gin and Fentimans Tonic Water.
We even came away with a good bag of offers, Leadmill tickets, tea and more information about Forum parties.
It was a great night and i'd recommending attending again if you're a budding blogger or interested in meeting like minded individuals.
I would love to hear more speakers and potentially see some entertainment at future events, because I don't think people were ready to leave at the end and it's a shame to wrap things up so early in the night.
