I found out this spring that Seattle would be hosting the 8th International Food Blogger Conference (IFBC) September 18 – 20, 2015. I shared this with my Editorial Assistant Bobbi, and we decided it would be a wonderful venue to learn all about new products and food blogging. Bobbi and I signed up last spring and now it’s only 2 more days and we will be attending our first food blogger conference learning from the best speakers, sponsors and food providers, and also networking with other bloggers!
I absolutely love the Pacific Northwest (PNW) I was born and raised in Portland, OR. So when I had an opportunity to come to Seattle for the IFBC15 I was thrilled. I have been taking a nostalgic trip along the Oregon Coast with Bobbi for the past week. Bobbi has not travelled much in the PNW so I’ve been able to tell her about many places from my childhood as we travel the Oregon Coast. Tomorrow we are heading up to the Seattle area for the conference. We can hardly wait, we are so excited!
Friday morning is the beginning of the conference. Friday afternoon we are going on a Sur La Table and KitchenAid Excursion where we will be learning all about the newest products they have. I am so eager to share them with you!
Then Friday evening the IFBC15 will have the Taste of Seattle Grand Opening Reception where I especially want to learn more about Teavana and special tips for brewing! My first experience with Teavana was just two months ago when I was in Portland visiting my sister. I have been a tea drinker most of my life and I have never experienced such flavorful and aromatic teas as I did in the Teavana tasting room. I look forward to sharing more about this fabulous Tea Company with you.
Saturday will be a day full of wonderful classes of all kinds, and I’m particularly excited to learn more about food photography. Franciacorta and Stoneburner Restaurant are presenting “Bubbles and Bites & Why Sparkling Wine is the Best Food Wine”. But I love the bubbly so I don’t need much persuasion.
Sunday I am looking forward to learning tech stuff from the WordPress Crew and how to be more effective in making my WordPress site more user-friendly for you. As a result of this conference I’m hoping to enhance my website giving you more pizzazz.
Keep tuned because I will be posting again from the conference as well.
