The Eat Drink Blog 3 (EDB3) organising committee is delighted to announce that the fourth Australian Food Bloggers Conference — Eat Drink Blog 4 — will be held in Perth, Western Australia.
Eat Drink Blog 4 follows Eat Drink Blog conferences held in Adelaide (EDB3 in 2012), Sydney (EDB2 in 2011) and Melbourne (EDB1 in 2010).
“We are thrilled that Eat Drink Blog will be hosted by Perth this year,” said Christina from the EDB3 organising committee.
“Eat Drink Blog is the only national food blogging conference in Australia so it’s an important way for Australian food bloggers to network and improve their skills and knowledge,” she said.
“We can’t wait to see what Perth come up with.”
At this stage, Eat Drink Blog 4 will be held in November 2013.
The organising committee for Eat Drink Blog 4 will be chaired by Ai-Ling from Food Endeavours of the The Blue Apocalypse. Other confirmed committee members are Matt from Abstract Gourmet, Bri from East Meets West and Chris from Bon Viveur.
“Some people might think Perth is a boring mining state but talk to any Perth food blogger and they will be quick to tell you otherwise and share why they think living in Perth is unique and great,” says Ai-Ling.
“Perth has a growing and vibrant food culture with many new farmers’ markets, street festivals, small bars and restaurants popping up, and an emerging street food scene,” she says.
“We look forward to having bloggers from around Australia visit our state and experience it for themselves. We will also be incorporating a unique WA experience into EDB4 through the food provided and workshops that we plan.”
Each year Eat Drink Blog is managed by a different organising committee from the host state. Last year’s conference was organised by Christina from The Hungry Australian (Co-Chair), Amanda from Lambs Ears and Honey (Co-Chair), Erin from She Cooks She Gardens, Alex from Eating Adelaide, Kirsty from The Natural Foodie (Secretary), Natasha from Playing House and Celeste from Travelling in Mary Janes.
The Eat Drink Blog 3 Committee will be handing over to the new EDB4 committee over the next couple of weeks.

Nice to know there is something in Perth for food bloggers. Being new to Perth, this is an amazing thing to be a part of. Thanks
So exciting!!! I have never thought Perth as boring. Love Perth and the rest of WA.
This is wonderful, being from the easy coast, but have spent a little time in WA, I’m super excited to (hopefully) be given the opportunity to explore WA with other foodies!
I’m very keen to hear more about this and to join in. Looking forward to it
This is brilliant! Can’t wait to hear more! Are you doing a side trip to the WA Gourmet Escape in Margaret River? That’s on in November and is foodie and wino heaven x
Hi there,
Excited about this event! Will there also be a food blog competition for 2013 (like there was for 2012) ?
Thanks,
Julia
Wow that sounds awesome. I am a food blogger based in Perth and would love to be a part of this.
Looks like a great event. I’m so chuffed it’s in Perth and would love the chance to be considered.
I’ve never been to Perth so fingers crossed I get an opportunity to visit Eat Drink Blog 4
It’s getting closer…. can’t wait to hear about the date!
Please keep me up to date with plans for this event. Just read about the Canadian food bloggers conference which sounded really awesome…and useful!
