If you read a lot of Australian food blogs you may have noticed a flurry of posts talking about Eat.Drink.Blog 3 – the third annual Australian food (and wine) bloggers’ conference, held here in Adelaide on Sunday 3 November.
Although the conference proper was held on the Sunday activities kicked off on Saturday with attendees able to attend a writing workshop hosted by keynote speaker Dianne Jacob, or to enjoy trips to either the Barossa or McLaren Vale, kindly put on by SATC. A dinner was held on Saturday night at the Hilton before the conference on Sunday.
The conference had a ton of speakers, covering a variety of topics relevant to bloggers, as well as some workshops.
At the time all this was going on I was actually trapped in a tin can (that’s an aircraft), cruising at 30000ft and heading home after three weeks in the UK.
However, as I was part of the organising committee I was invested in everything going smoothly, even though I wasn’t there for the pointy end of things! Everything I’ve seen, read and heard suggests that everyone had a fantastic time and that everyone loved Adelaide (as they should).
You can check out the full list of attendees, but a special mention must go to my fellow committee members: Amanda, Celeste, Christina, Erin, Kirsty and Natasha.
A huge thank you to all the sponsors, but especially the conference’s major sponsor, the South Australian Tourism Commission.
Thanks Alex! We wish you could have been there in person with us.
Ah well – these things happen. I’ll be there next year with bells on!
