FoodFightWrite, Food Bloggers Conference

November 12th-15th, 2014 in Las Vegas

I was thrilled to recently learn about an upcoming Food Blogging Conference, FoodFightWrite BlogFest that looks fabulous. You know me anything with Food, Bloggers and new things I can learn about is right up my alley.  This is the first year of the conference and it’s being held in Las Vegas Wednesday, November 12th through Saturday, November 15th. I know, right, almost 3 days of food content to learn from. Pretty fabulous!

I was invited as a Blog Ambassador and couldn’t be more excited to be attending and learning from some of the industry leaders in Food Blogging. You may be wondering, why this conference, why FoodFightWrite?  I’m going to let them explain it best so see below for some great content from the event website.  If you decide to go as well, please email me and let me know as I’d love to have other friends at the conference to hang out with!!!

What is the FoodFightWrite BlogFest?

Not your typical ho-hum conference. In addition to education–including the Be A Pro series created exclusively for FFW by the IACP–networking, and high-octane fun, our 300 food bloggers from around the country will have an insider access pass to the yummie happenings surrounding the World Food Championships. The action-packed itinerary whisks together bloggers, food celebrities and judges, food competitors, authors, brands, and culinary experts.

FoodFightWrite content is wrapped around WFC’s epic experiential food competition in multitrack, multi-level programming, activities, parties, and integrated, custom brand experiences. Our HumHub social media area will combine all these moving parts into a powerful, dynamic vista. Rest up. It’s going to be a mind-blowing week of new connections and unbelievable culinary creations.
