Where, under one roof, can you connect with food allergy friends, eat food allergy safe foods, learn about anaphylaxis from experts, dive into food allergy recipe development, discuss how to advocate for yourself or child and, if blogging is your cup of tea, learn some fabulous tricks of the trade regarding social media and even self publishing? Of course, at the inaugural Food Allergy Bloggers Conference to be held this November 2-4, 2013 in Las Vegas, NV at the food allergy savvy South Point Casino Resort! The conference will offer two tracks: one for bloggers with related blogging topics and one for those seeking information regarding Disease Management.

Connecting and being part of a nation wide community
Kicking off the event will be the Food Allergy Bloggers Conference Early Bird Special on a lovely Saturday morning, November 2, 2013! I will have a booth at the walk and will also be a panelist at the conference and am truly looking forward to enjoying both. I’m incredibly excited to connect and to be surrounded by my fellow food allergy types. I’m actually even more thrilled to hang out with Colette, Henry, Selena, Lynda, Elizabeth, Alisa, Ritesh and the list goes on and on. These are all amazing people who not only move our food allergy world in the right direction, but who I look to for advice, laughs and sanity.

Here are some speaker highlights that I picked up from the Food Allergy Bloggers Conference website.
[unordered_list style=”red-x”]- Colette Martin, author of Learning to Bake Allergen-Free: A Crash Course for Busy Parents on Baking without Wheat, Gluten, Dairy, Eggs, Soy or Nuts.
- Food Allergy Bloggers Conference —aka Tess Masters on her wildly popular recipe blog, “The Blender Girl”
- Henry Ehrlich is co-author of Asthma Allergies Children: a parent’s guide with Dr. Lawrence Chairamonte and Dr. Paul Ehrlich, board-certified pediatric allergists, and editor ofHealthy Blender Recipes,,
- Kelly Rudniki, food allergy cookbook author and host of the popular AsthmaAllergiesChildren.com website will be speaking as well!
I am counting the days until I can hang with this fabulous group again!
Also, just as exciting are the topics slated for the conference. I’m looking forward to the Allergy Testing session, Picture This and Facing Adversity with a Smile. Visit the Food Allergy Mama website for much more information. I almost forgot to mention that there will be give-aways. I love contests to no end and there is going to be a Vita-mix raffled!
One of the hardest things I find about managing both life threatening food allergies and asthma is talking to others. I hate to be the one that might be perceived as demanding, pushing or for asking too much. What I now know, fourteen years later, is that honest, clear information presented with kindness works!..
I’m really interested in writing a blog about allergies and how to deal with them through natural health. I live in the UK, is there any thing similar to the Blog conference in the UK, or can you put me in touch with like minded people in the UK. Thanks so much.
Paula, are you on Twitter? I follow several food allergy folks from the UK who are on twitter.
I don’t know of any similar events in the UK, but I will ask around!
Too bad there is an ocean between all of us!

Selena, that is a great description… reunion and meeting new friends!
Caroline–Thanks for talking this up. I am very excited and already working on my material.
Henry, are you ready to be engulfed again all of us? I believe we’ll have fun, but most of all, we will walk away with some amazing data and new life long friends.
Caroline, I am so excited to! This is going to be a fabulous conference!
Me too! I can’t wait to see you even more! What makes this so exciting is the connecting and making “new” friends. I always am in awe that we are one large nationwide family.
