After winning the 2018 FLBlogCon Sunshine Blog award for the Local/Events category, NatureCoaster.com’s publisher wanted to give back to the community that has given so much to her.

“At the first FLBlogCon I attended; my mentor gave me the ticket. The conference opened my eyes to the value of online communications as a viable medium and gave legitimacy to my passion of connecting people to Florida’s Nature Coast,” explained Diane Bedard.

Robin Draper, who was then publisher of AuthenticFlorida.com, mentored Diane. She suggested that Diane attend FLBlogCon and donated a ticket to her.

“I want to do the same for another blogger. This conference is wonderful for learning new techniques to grow your online presence as well as connecting with others who are on the same path,” said Diane.

Today, bloggers can apply to receive a ticket to FLBlogCon by submitting an email request with your name, email and blog name to diane@naturecoaster.com

The winner will be selected August 10, 2019.

NatureCoaster.com is an online magazine dedicated to enjoyment of Florida’s Nature Coast combining weekly features, daily articles, a local business directory and a regional calendar of events.

FLBlogCon is an annual blogger and social media conference in Orlando Florida presented by Ford and Your Southern Ford Dealers. September 7, 2019 will be the 9^th Annual conference with a Tell Your #Story theme.
