History of Momz Share

Like many a big idea, it all started over tapas and a pitcher of sangria. Lara and Jennifer found that not only did they share a love of cheese but they both had a desire to connect with other women who blog. Having been to their share of professional and industry events, conventions, and conferences the two had formed a few opinions. What they both agreed upon was that the best part of any of these functions was the time spent getting to know those around you.

After attending a few social media events together they decided that what they really wanted was an entire event that was about the “best part”. A place where women who shared some of the same passions could get together, let off some steam, learn from each other and help put the social back into social media.

The launch party for Momz Share was held in the Spring of 2010 in Jennifer’s home. Promoted only via their blogs and Twitter, 48 women attended the inaugural event. The evening was full of conversation, cocktails, great food and a consensus that they were all on to something.

By the second event, the number of attendees had nearly doubled! It was at that point the pair decided to create a charitable component to complement the outings. It was decided that each year, all proceeds over and above administrative expenses will be donated to a worthy charity.

Along with the bump in attendance, women from around the country began to contact the duo inquiring about how they could get involved and host Momz Share events in their own area. Bolstered by the buzz and focused on something that they are truly passionate about, Jennifer and Lara are working to bring Momz Share to the masses.
