I am amazed at how quickly you got the fbf up and running and this seminar put together, but I wondering if you could give us a written list of the references (usually a website) mentioned during the presentations, just in case I missed it in my notes, or misunderstood the website name. Thanks so much for a great day.

Any plans for Mid-Atlantic or Mid-South events?
LOVE your re-cap of such a terrific seminar!! Really had so much fun! Here’s a link to my re-cap: http://micurl.com/CDnbg
Yes, let’s have another soon!!
Thanks again, I’m loving this website too
Last Saturday was fun!! Can we do it again?
This was my first foodie conference but certainly not my last. Thank you Jaden, Scott, Diane, Todd, Matt, Adam, Harriet, Evan, Eddie, Gary for graciously sharing your knowledge. I learned SO much! Truly blog-life changing.
Here’s my recap: http://www.iheartfood4thought.com/2010/03/28/food-blog-forum-la-2010/
Awww, some of my favorite people in the world were in that video! Looks like a great event.
great video of a great day – so inspiring THANK YOU!
So sorry I missed the event! Jaden, you MUST do one in Florida
[...] food blogger that I have read the longest and that I respect most. No, I didn’t attend the Food Blogger Forum that day but I did learn a lot and I got to get my Latin American dessert on…and eat it too! [...]
What great fun! Hope to attend this seminar soon.
What a special day we shared together! I learned so much. Such a vibrant & happy community that I am grateful to be a part of. I will get you a post sometime soon.
Wish I could have been there. Sounds like every one enjoyed themselves and left the seminar so much wiser. I am so envious. I really hope you come to my area soon, I know Canada is probably out of the question but a neighbouring US city would be absolutely fabulous. The one attendee hit it on the head, learning from people that are successful and finding out what path that took them there, so much better than trying to surf the net for all the information.
psssst… Canada’s a nice cheap place to come to visit — we’d love you in Toronto!
You know that California’s a really looong state, right? And that, really, it’s two states: north and south. Given that, any chance you’ll have a forum for us folks who live up here in the NoCal hinterlands? I’m just askin’.
I’ve only heard good things about this event. Congrats and I hope you do some traveling forums soon-Utah is a nice place to visit:)
Yay! This was fabulous. I traveled down for the seminar and it was well worth it!
Thank you for a wonderful event that was informative and inspiring! Awesome job in pulling this together!
Wonderful seminar with a lot of great info. I finally posted about it on my blog and images. http://www.dishygoodness.com/2010/04/first-food-blog-forum-seminar-build.html
Look forward to the next event!
So sad to have missed it, but I was in Thailand, so I can’t complain too much.
Looking forward to one in SF!
wow this looks amazing. I hope that something similar and on this scale starts to happen soon in AUstralia. It’s a little too far to travel – maybe I should start saving.

Great video, great forum, great friends, great food, great times! Can’t wait for the next one!!
