BlogHer: A Reflection on Community and Connection
Participating in BlogHer can be likened to the experience of high school—complete with a vibrant mix of personalities and a plethora of free offerings. In high school, the perks might include parties and social gatherings, which could sometimes lead to regrettable mornings after, similar to the goodies handed out at conferences.
At BlogHer, just like in high school, there exists a spectrum of individuals: the “cool kids,” who range from genuinely amiable to those who can be rather unkind; the tech-savvy, who often remain behind their screens; the social butterflies, and those seeking to climb the social ladder by any means necessary. There are also the quiet observers, whose insights often go unnoticed but are, perhaps, the most profound.
The educational aspect of BlogHer mirrors the classroom setting of high school, with large lectures that may not always capture attention and smaller, interactive sessions that foster engagement and participation. These intimate gatherings provide opportunities for deeper discussions, though there are always classes one wishes they had attended.
The food, reminiscent of cafeteria cuisine, might not always be appealing, leading many to seek alternatives outside the venue. Appearance, much like in high school, can become a source of anxiety as individuals worry about fitting in, often forgetting that everyone else is preoccupied with their own insecurities.
Social events at BlogHer echo the high school parties—lively and chaotic, sometimes requiring intervention. Personally, I favor smaller gatherings where genuine connections can flourish over loud crowds. After a long day, returning to a quiet space away from the buzz is a welcome relief, even if it is not fully appreciated in the moment.
Reflecting on the experience, while I have cherished memories from high school and the friends made during that time, I do not wish to return. I find comfort in the present, though a brief annual visit to relive the nostalgia would be ideal. So, as BlogHer approaches next year, I look forward to attending, knowing that I will leave feeling fulfilled.
