Join us for EDB 2015!

Eat Drink Blog 2015  will feature a program that is educational and informative for both experienced bloggers as well as those who are in the early stages of their blogging journey. We also wanted to bring a different style of learning to this event and also wanted to share our favourite foodie stops of Canberra with you. With this in mind, we hope we have managed to put together an experience, not just a conference.

It’s a program that takes you around Canberra where you can learn on the go, meet and interact with people in the food industry, eat and drink the best things this city has to offer and network with your fellow bloggers whilst participating in fun and educational activities. Of course we have a great line up of speakers to educate and inspire you as well.

Perhaps the very best thing is the price – just $149 for two nights and two days of eating, drinking and inspiration for just $149! To register, click on over to Eventbrite.
