31 Comments 23 August 2011

If you’re really in it… blogging never gets old. Things are very different today than they were back in February at the last conference. Man Repelller blew up seemingly overnight, Now Manifest created a super blog, and now more than ever, bloggers of all levels are doing interesting things with their blogs and with their lives.

This season, I’m particularly proud to announce the line up for the New York IFB Conference in partnership with MADE at Milk Studios to kick off NYFW. We’ll be hearing from charismatic Joe Zee, Elle’s Creative Director about how social media has affected his career. Other amazing panelists will include, Coco Rocha, Mickey Boardman, Man Repeller, Natalie Off Duty, People Style Watch, Advanced Style and more!

Magnum ice cream will be serving up small indulgences, including delicious ice cream bars, signature manicures and a DIY nail bar. Join the #MagnumScene on Facebook, Twitter and Tumblr!

You can also come get made up for NYFW KMS California will style your hair. We’ll also have great contests courtesy of Pose.com !

I was excited about the conference from the very beginning, but I’m more excited now that you have released the line up. The Man Repeller is one of my favorite because the girl is funny as heck and of course I’m looking forward to meeting Yuli Ziv since she wrote Fashion 2.0 which is like my blogger bible.
