Procter & Gamble at BlogHer '10: Your Home Away From Home

Living room Kitchen Office Bedroom Bathroom

Welcome! On behalf of the entire Procter & Gamble family, we are so excited to be taking part in BlogHer 2010. For those of you we don’t know, we look forward to getting to know you at the conference; for those of you we do know, it’ll be terrific to see you again.

We know how overwhelming the conference can be, whether you’re a veteran or a “newbie.” That’s why P&G created the “Home Away from Home” at BlogHer 2010, a place where you can come to relax, regroup and meet the people behind some of your favorite household brands. There will be special guests, fun ways for you to engage with our products, special offers and giveaways and of course, lots of exciting product news. We can’t wait to share it all with you.

Since BlogHer is just around the corner, we imagine some of you are already starting to worry about how to prepare – not just yourselves, but the families and households you’re leaving behind. Over the next few weeks, we’ll be partnering with the BlogHer team to share some helpful advice and conference preparation tips, and we’ll also encourage you to share yours. In addition, we’ll be previewing all the events and happenings you can take part in at P&G’s “Home Away from Home.” 

So come on in!  Move your mouse across the house above to find links into each of the rooms. Click through to the Living Room, Kitchen, Home Office, Bedroom and  Bathroom for new discussions, expert tips and a chance to win prizes!  Also, see below for the schedule of speakers we’ll be featuring in the Living Room – hope you will join us there!

I am hoping not to get overwhelmed with it all and wind up in my room with a panic attack LOL Looking forward to seeing familiar brands there, though!

Apparently, I am greatly influenced by P&G, as I can see products I use in every room - in some of the rooms, I utilize all of the product names depicted! Holy moly.

I appreciate all the tips! I will be bringing snack bars. ;)

Best,

It is wonderful to see that P&G understands that, as we pursue our passions, it does not come without worry as we leave babies, children and spouses behind; often for the very first time. As a result, I started a Facebook group of Blogher attendees who are facing those fears and providing support for others who will or who have experienced being away from the kids for the first time! It would be great if somehow we could combine efforts! Look forward to your booth at the conference!

I'm going to jump on this one and advise sponsors to give out granola bars, or attendees to pack a box in their luggage. I did that last year, and it saved me from fainting on more than one occasion! with so much to see and do, one can easily miss meals.
