Midwest Influencers Conference,

About the event

The Midwest Influencers Conference is the first of it's kind - focusing on Midwest Bloggers and dedicated to staying within the Midwest Region. There are thousands of bloggers, vloggers, podcasters, radio personalities and more in the heart of our country - and we need a place to grow and network together. Spanning 13 states, the Midwest is one of the largest regions in the nation. Together we can grow our influence, connect and continue to show why the Midwest is still the heart of the nation! 

The Midwest Influencers Conference is excited to have our first event in Chicago this year, and we've great attendees and speakers set up. Our first annual conference is going to be amazing, and our bloggers can help spread awareness about your brand! 

The Conference was born out of the need for an event devoted to Midwest Bloggers and Influencers. While national conferences come to the Midwest region occassionally, they do not stay in the area. Bloggers and Influencers in the Midwest vary greatly in where they live, work or their focus and have a unique set of needs that larger conferences may not focus on.

MIC plans on offering attendees different learning level options, networking opportunities and friendly competitions. Brands and Influencers can connect in a low stress atmosphere, to help all brands grow and thrive.

Speakers topics include: Podcasting, Protecting your blog legally, Brand Expectations, Finding your Niche, and several others. 

Our attendees are bloggers from throughout the nation with focuses in different aspects of blogging. Blogs and Influencers drive traffic to brands, and can help build trust for a brand or company. The majority of bloggers are looking to build full time relationships with brands, because they love their brand or products. These relationships can last from one campaign to several year long relationships. Honest reviews on blogs will generate more traffic and brand loyalty from consumers.

How will I be able to track blogger interaction during the conference?

The hashtag for the event will be used throughout the weekend. You can follow us on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook and look for the hashtags #MICBLOGGERS15 and #MICBLOGGERS. Bloggers are all over social media and can help spread awareness of your brand.

How about after the conference?

We will provide sponsors social media data with the event hashtags as well as the trending terms from the event. Approximate reach, social media mentions etc will be included. We recommend sponsor presence at the conference in the expo area or as an attendee (depending on your sponsorship type). This way you can make face to face connections with bloggers. Strong and long term relationships are built more in person than via email.

How many influencers will be attending?

For our first year, we're looking at around 50 bloggers/influencers. There are thousands of bloggers in the Midwest region, and while we would love to have every one of them join us, we are realistic and want to keep the first year manageable. As we grow, we anticipate that number to increase with us.

Is it only limited to bloggers and brands based in the Midwest?

Not at all. Often our readers are nationwide if not world wide. We welcome all bloggers and influencers with open arms.

I can’t afford a large sponsorship package - will I still be represented at the conference? Can I come as an attendee to meet bloggers?

Please email us for different ways to be involved. We will have network/sponsor only tickets available and would love to have you for smaller networking opportunities. You are of course invited to enjoy the classes and events as well!

Will it only be big blogs attending MIC?

No! We welcome blogs and influencers of any size. We strongly believe that even the smallest blogger can have a major impact, and love to see them grow their brands and businesses.

Where will MIC be next year?

This is a trade secret! At this time we’re not ready to reveal the 2016 location, but will gladly as we get closer to the 2015 event.

Why should you sponsor?
