A Celebration Of Motherhood

This is Broward Mom Collective’s first Annual Bloom Event for new and expectant moms! This year we are partnering with our national network City Mom Collective and over 90 of our sister sites to present Bloom, a national event for New & Expectant Moms to local communities and an estimated attendance of over 8,000+ moms throughout the US!

Since the COVID situation continues to be unpredictable we’ve made the decision to host a hybrid event giving attendees and partners the option to experience Bloom 100% virtually or at our in-person event. 

It will be completely FREE for all new and expecting moms to attend the virtual event (upgraded ticket options include swag bags, VIP Swag Bags and opportunity to win GIVEAWAYS!!!!). 

The pandemic has changed how we might do things, but it will not change the experience that we bring to our Broward Moms. It doesn’t matter if you are first-time parents, second (or third) time parents, or grandparents, this is an opportunity for everyone to learn about and interact with local businesses and industry experts in health and wellness, mom and baby essentials, infant and child development, and more! This exclusive event is designed to get new moms and growing families the latest must-have products and the newest information possible from local experts.

You Don’t Want To Miss it!

Our Mission at Broward Mom Collective is to present our Bloom event for new moms and growing families, foster moms, adoptive moms, grandparents, and families in the Broward County area. We love helping new moms and families get the information they need, connecting them to businesses that will help them in their parenting journey, and providing them with lots of swag and giveaways! 

This year Bloom Event includes:

  • Q&A Expert Panel Sessions
  • Local & National Business Features
  • General Admission Swag Bag (includes swag bag, in-person event, virtual event and opportunity to win giveaways)
  • VIP Ticket with a VIP Swag Bag (includes VIP swag bag, in-person event, virtual event and opportunity to win giveaways)

Since this is a hybrid event and we know everyone can be a little ZOOM’d-out, we offer lots of fun with Giveaways, Virtual Business Features, Swag Bags & more!

All of this fun will lead up to a Facebook Q&A session with our Expert Panelist.

The Swag Bag Pick-up event will be so much fun (which is why you need a ticket!) and lots of Giveaways!!!!!
