FAQ's

Is this the year you travel to a content conference? Is MilBlogging the RIGHT conference?

We want you to have all the info you need to make your decision so we’ve laid out some of the most common questions, a few suggestions and things to consider as you decide!

Who is MilBlogging for?

Do I need to be making money/an established blogger to get my money’s worth?

Absolutely not! There will be a range of speakers and topics covered will include both foundational concepts and opportunities to level up. To make the most of your conference experience, I’d recommend:
