Halifax Food Blogging Conference

Halifax Food Blogging Conference

Join us for a full day of learning, networking and, of course, eating at Chain Yard Urban Cidery in Halifax on September 25th.

Whether you're an experienced food blogger or brand new you will leave this event with new skills, new friends, lots of inspiration and the confidence to take your food blog to a new level.

We're bringing together an incredible team of photography, styling, writing, blogging, video and media professionals who will be sharing their expertise with you over the course of the day.

You'll learn skills to take your blog to the next level through our sessions and through networking with fellow attendees.

Our goal is to send you home with the tools you need to take the next steps in your blog while feeling inspired and motivated. We want to help you connect with other bloggers facing the same challenges so you can work together to grow after the day is over.  And of course, you'll have fun and eat some great food!

This workshop is also the 9th stop on the three week long 2018 FBC Great Canadian Road Trip.  Check out the Road Trip itinerary for more fun stops throughout Canada!
