Have you heard about this conference? You may recall my bringing it up a couple of times here and on Facebook. The Food and Wine Conference is happening in Orlando, Florida this summer. I’m planning to attend this inaugural conference primarily to meet my fellow #SundaySupper contributers! I have been part of this dynamic group of bloggers since my debut post on June 17, 2012 featuring bibim naeng myun.
Spearheaded by Isabel Laessig, the mission of the Sunday Supper Movement is “to bring back Sunday Supper around the family table in every home.” It is a mission that I wholeheartedly agree with and, well, just had to be a part of! Sunday Supper has grown exponentially since its inception in early 2012. Every week there is a theme where participants showcase their recipes and stories with a Tweetchat to complement every event. Through these various social media outlets, we’ve gotten to know each other very well with some relationships developing into true friendships! Most without even meeting IRL (IRL = in real life, for you newbies)!
With this tremendous growth and energy, Isabel has propelled Sunday Supper into a real life conference! The awesome Sara Moulton is headlining the conference, another reason I’m attending this conference! Cooking Live with Sara Moulton on Food Network was one of my favorite shows back when Food Network showcased more cooking than spectacle (a conversation for another time). I am also looking forward to meeting Jaden Hair of Steamy Kitchen, an über food blogger whom I have admired from afar since my early days of blogging, AND Irvin Lin of Eat the Love, a super talented photographer, writer, and designer!
It’s been one year since my first #SundaySupper post and it seems appropriate to host a giveaway. Am I right, folks? You have a chance to win ONE TICKET to the inaugural Food and Wine Conference taking place in Orlando, Florida from July 19 to 21. The giveaway will run from today through the end of the day June 26th.
To enter, simply leave me a comment below letting me know what you look forward to most during the conference.
