Food bloggers from throughout the country will descend on Atlanta this weekend to participate in the Food Blog Forum “Build Your Best Blog” Seminar.
This daylong Saturday conference (bookended by parties) looks to an informative day for bloggers who want to learn to increase their social media presence, take better food photography, monetize their websites and break into mainstream media.
Blogerati in attendance will include organizer Jaden Hair (Steamy Kitchen) as well as Todd Porter and Diane Cu (White On Rice Couple). Gwen Pratesi, who pens the very enjoyable Atlanta blog Bunky Cooks, is the local organizer.
Local food folk in attendance will include cookbook author and television personality Virginia Willis, Bella Cucina Artful Foods owner Alisa Barry and some doofus from the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, who will talk about the paper’s plan to hire local food bloggers to assist with dining coverage.
The event will take place at The Shed at Glenwood, and you can buy tickets here.
