TASTEMAKER CONFERENCE 2019 SOLD OUT! CLICK THE GREEN BUTTON TO JOIN OUR WAITLIST!
Presented by Tillamook
Tastemaker Conference 2019 is being held in foodie heaven AKA Portland, OR! Join us for a long weekend of community, education, and experience!
Tastemaker Conference is the food blogger conference for foodie influencers and content creators. Founded by a group of professional food bloggers, we understand the setbacks associated with food blogging, and know the tools to overcome and succeed in this business. That's why we've teamed up with the best in the industry to teach you those essential skills for running your own thriving food blog.
This event was created to fill a gap in the market for an intimate, valuable, and beautifully curated food blogger conference and media platform.
Alongside the conference, we host a blog, podcast, newsletter, and active social media presence, where we address the pain points of food blogging, and share tips and solutions to those problems (we're looking at you, algorithms!). Simply put, there is room for everybody, and it's our mission to help you grow and achieve your goals!
At this two-day event on Thursday, September 19- Friday, September 20 you will:
- Learn from inspirational speakers and instructors who are experts in their fields (over $5000 value in breakout workshops).
- Meet sponsors and build relationships through networking with like-minded food bloggers and influencers.
- Receive an AMAZING swag bag full of goodies and giveaway prizes, valued at over $1000
- Eat yummy food (ahem, food trucks!)—breakfast, lunch, and snacks provided both days.
- There are also two excursions (additional cost) on September 21, 2019 where you can enjoy the sites and food of Portland!
This year we are excited to provide more in-depth content by offering 2-hour workshops for all breakout sessions, which will dig deep for more seasoned bloggers (pun intended). These are included in the cost of your ticket, and are worth over $5000 in value! (You also get complimentary acces to our 2018 digital course, which is $2000 in value!)
