(You’ll be able to identify them by their #ACBBloggerQuest stickers.) Get your picture taken with each of the bloggers you locate and upload your photos to Twitter, along with the hashtag #ACBBloggerQuest and the blogger’s name or Twitter handle.
The competition is only open to conference attendees and will last from 9 a.m., CST, on Friday October 18 to 5 p.m., CST, on Saturday, October 19.
