Earlier this year I attended one of the most amazing conferences, The Big Traveling Potluck!
The 2014 conference was held in Temecula, which is a short drive from my home so I jumped at the opportunity to attend. Even though I don’t write 100% about food, I was welcomed by a great group of fellow bloggers. The unique thing about The Big Traveling Potluck is that it is a relatively small conference. You really feel like you get to know the other attendees and sponsors. It’s the most intimate conference I’ve ever attended and I really enjoyed it.
Food was the main star of the show.
At no point was I hungry. While learning about technique or the sponsors there was always food available. Sabra was one of the sponsors and I loved the dips and appetizers that were served with their hummus and other spreads. This was more of an experience than a sit down and listen kind of event and it set a new bar for conferences. The food was even prepared by the even organizers. I was in awe of every moment. Being a vegetarian I am often left eating bits and pieces of whatever is served but that was totally not the case with BTP. There were ample dishes served for all dietary needs.
What a delicious conference! I have attended a few blogging conferences and I love getting to meet other bloggers and learn more about the business.
Loos like a great event!! My youngest daughter LOVES olives! 🙂
Oh YUM! Great pictures – I love all those Kitchenaids!
I have never heard of this conference, but I am a major foodie, so I would be all over it 🙂
This looks like such a great time! What an awesome way to try new food!
Wow that looks so good! I was a vegetarian for a year, so I know how hard it is to eat when you go to events like this. I am thinking about doing it again.
Oh my! I can only imagine how wonderful this conference must have been! I would love to go to something like this! Great pictures too!!
That looks like a really fun conference. Glad you had a good time!
