South African Food and Wine Blogger Indaba 2012 Agenda
May 21, 2012 in Uncategorized
Hello fellow food24 bloggers,
Planning for this year’s Food and Wine Blogger Indaba is in full swing and exciting things are planned. Please take a look at the newly updatedAgenda/Program for this years Indaba that is happening on June 24th at the Pick n Pay Conference Centre in Kenilworth, Cape Town. You may want to book your ticket if you haven’t yet. I have been thrilled at the rate that booking is going and just over 70 seats are already taken. There is so much excitement out there about the Indaba and my aim is to bring you the best event ever! There is still just one more workshop waiting for confirmation on a sponsor but it will definitely be happening.
There have been a couple of media write-ups about the Indaba. You can read more on the Indaba blog and also on these popular pages Pick n Pay , Cape Town Tourism and NoMU
