Many thanks to all that attended, spoke and sponsored IFBC17. This wouldn’t be possible without each and every one of you.
From Instagram growth to discovery tasting sessions, and from how to make money blogging to the science behind eco-friendly beef, we covered a diverse range of topics. Many of us enjoyed the pre- and post-conference excursions including wine tasting in El Dorado County, a ranch visit with Cobram Estate and the Olive Oil Commission of California, and a climate-smart, smoked prime rib dinner with Mootral at UC Davis.
And how about the food from our numerous Taste of Sacramento vendors, sponsors and even those that dared the speed-dating-like drama of the live blogging session! We enjoyed gourmet chocolates, a vegan poke, Cubano sliders, turmeric chicken salad, micheladas, and of course numerous wines. It was a veritable feast for the senses.
Thank you for helping us make the IFBC a success, and most importantly for keeping it fun! We hope to see many of you again in New Orleans for our 10th anniversary celebration.
