Food Blog Forum Atlanta- Great new friends, Awesome event
Scott Hair of Steamy Kitchen kicks off the seminar
Food Blog Forum Atlanta seminar was a hit and a wonderful event where new friendships were made. Thank you to the beautiful city of Atlanta, Jaden Steamy Kitchen and Gwen Bunky Cooks for organizing and to all the attendees for making this event a huge success.
A huge shout out goes to the stellar panel of speakers as well. Thank you to John Kessler of Atlanta Journal-Constitution, James Andrews and Lauren Thomas from Everywhere , Cookbook author Virginia Willis, Alisa Barry of Bella Cucina, and Jaden of Steamy Kitchen. Their sessions on Working with Media Outlets and Branding were informative, everyone in the room had pages of notes from all their valuable information. We had a blast sharing two sessions on Food Photography.
Since we launched Food Blog Forum with our friend Jaden from Steamy Kitchenin March 2010, it’s been an amazing journey of community, friendships and learning. Not only have we met some of the most wonderful food writers, publishers and bloggers from all across the country, we’ve learned so much from everyone as well.
The whole Food Blog Forum community is about supporting one another and helping each other and we’re proud that we were able to organize an event where everyone can come together to learn, share and participate.
A final thank you to our sponsors who provided great support and giveaways! Viking Store, Chefs Catalog , Kitchen Aid, Whole Foods, Bella Cucina , Calpahalon, Showcase Photo & Video.

Wow, wow and more wow. Great event-wish I could have joined you guys for this one. The experiences in the viking kitchen look amazing. Your presentation with the tether sounds just genius! xo
I’m so upset I missed FBF, I always seem to find out too late. I didn’t see anything on the forum about the next one, but I hope there will be another soon, maybe New York area?
Todd and Diane
What a great weekend! I got a great deal of information from your seminar. It will be fun now trying to put it to use. Both of you are such great teachers! Thanks so much for being such giving people.
I was so sad that I missed this event because of a conflict that week-end!!! sounds amazing 🙂
Hi Todd and Diane:
Glad to see you made it home safely. The Food Blog Forum far exceeded our expectations AND we had a great time and made some new friends. Thank you so much for sharing your time and talents.
xo,
Carolyn
PS: Don’t forget the mushroom compost! 🙂
Wow! A tethered photo session. Sounds like you two figured out how to teach us bloggers how to shoot food. What a great idea. Wish I could have been there to witness your greatness!
I’m all with Jennifer at Savor. If you ever plan to go to Boston, I’ll be there with bells on to help set things up! xoxoxo, B
I am sorry that I missed the opportunity to meet you and learn some really good stuff. Hoping that there will be another FBF meet soon
I just finished drooling over the pictures you took over on Steamy Kitchen! What an event! I can’t wait until you guys do another one somewhere near ME! Maybe I’ll just have to start an FBF fund and start traveling around the country to each one that you do… I’m SURE my husband will go for that one, right?!?
