Every January I get a little pang of envy, as loads of talented bloggers and creative types meet up in Salt Lake City for Alt Summit, a conference designed to bring together the latest ideas and interesting folks to one place for a creative and inspiring few days. Fortunately, for the past two years I’ve been able to follow the feed on Twitter and pick up some awesome advice. The good news is now there is a solution for those of us in Europe. This year debuts the first ever The Hive Berlin, European blogging conference. Started by three creative bloggers from three different cities, the idea is for those of us in Europe to meet-up and learn about different aspects of blogging. It all happens May 19-20 in Berlin. In other exciting news? I’ll be one of the speakers! My talk is on blogging etiquette and how to deal with negative feedback. Here’s what I’ll be addressing:
If you’re in Europe, I highly recommend coming and joining us. While it’s amazing the way we all can communicate online, even better is when you get people in the same room! Click here for the full program and hope to see you there!!

And while everyone can’t get away for these conferences, I just wanted to share my two favorite resources for continuing education online happening right now. Alt Summit recently launched the AltChannel which has a full line up of 1-hour online courses, and for only $15 each (I’m taking my first one next Thursday). Skillshare is another company doing awesome things, and anyone can offer or take a course. Their motto is “Learn anything from anyone, anywhere.” Both are worth checking out!
