Discover, cultivate, monetize: a digital influencer lab

If you've hopped on the blogging bandwagon and are interested in transforming a hobby into a business, here's an event where you'll learn how to monetize your blog, develop an audience and meet other established and aspiring bloggers. The one-day event at the Real Office Centers (604 Arizona Ave) will keep you busy with 6 workshops and sessions with 9 successful fashion, beauty and lifestyle bloggers, including Jackie Aina (Makeup Game On Point), Sazan Barzani (Sazan) and Kathy Palatsky (Healthy Happy Life). If you're invested in your blog, the steep $154-$224 admission will be worth every penny—and here's a plus: 10% of the proceeds benefit the local non-profit A Place Called Home. The VIP ticket gets you in to the blogger panel and shop and mingle party, which promises cocktails, networking opportunities and shopping. Find more info on special guests and scheduling here.
