At the end of February, members of the International Food, Wine and Travel Writers Association will gather for the 2012 annual conference in Las Vegas at The Venetian and The Palazzo. This will be our first IFWTWA conference and we are looking forward to meeting new people and renewing acquaintances with those we have met in our travels.

The IFWTWA conference includes fine dining, speakers and much more. Topics to be covered will include publishing, photography, LinkedIn, video, SEO, and 101 for press trips. Certainly a highlight of the conference will be gourmet foods. Inspiring chef demonstrations and food seminars are included in the conference. Wine enthusiasts will enjoy “Wine Tasting with the Correct Glasses” presented by Thomas Leman of Riedel.

In 2011, the IFWTWA conference was held on a cruise ship and billed as a Conference at Sea. Keep watching the IFWTWA website to discover where the 2013 conference will take place.
