BakeSpace.com's TECHmunch Food Blogger Conference

New York City | June 11, 2011

Doors open at 9:15am. (Light breakfast provided)

Panels: 10:00am-5:30pm

Networking Party: 5:30pm-7:30pm

As the online world descends on New York City June 6th-13th for Internet Week, food bloggers in the Big Apple will be focused on an event all their own in the form of TECHmunch NYC, which will be held Saturday, June 11th at Astor Center. New York City is the latest stop for TECHmunch, which was created to help food bloggers learn practical tools and tactics for generating buzz, building an audience and making their hard work profitable.

TECHmunch is a blend of networking mixers, panels, tastings and cooking classes that will inspire even the most seasoned food blogger. The goal is to provide the ingredients you need to succeed and pursue your passion.

Who should attend?

•    Food bloggers of every level - from hobbyists to media conglomerates and everything in between
•    Brands that want to connect and form partnerships with food bloggers

Can non-food bloggers attend?

Yes of course!  A lot of our chats will be focused on food content, but anyone interested in SEO, monetization, content creation and syndication will walk away from our event with useful information.

What you'll learn?

Topics include the latest tools and tactics to develop and optimize content, build buzz, grow an audience and profit financially from all the hard work. The focus is on practical, hands-on information that you can use from day-one to take your blog to the next level.

We'll be giving away great prizes throughout the event (ask anyone who attended last year!). A light breakfast (w/ coffee & tea) as well as snacks throughout the day and lunch will be provided for full access pass holders. For networking party pass holders only, there will be beverages served at the party.
