It dawned on me this morning that there is only one week left (ends February 15th, 2014) for the early bird discount for the parent and food allergy blogger types at the Food Allergy Blogger Conference! FaBlogCon will be held this September 26-28, 2014 in Las Vegas, NV at the food allergy friendly Southpoint. There will be two tracks offered during the conference: one for parents and adults who manage life threatening food allergies and one for bloggers. I’ll be posting next week about one incredible guest speaker that I am soooo happy to hear speak: Robyn O’Brien!

After an explosive and successful first year, I’m thrilled to see the Food Allergy Blogger Conference is now going to be a staple in our food allergy world. Last year, Senator Debbie Smith, who lead the charge on mandating stock epinephrine in Nevada Schools and Eric Edwards, co-creator of the Auvi-Q®, opened the event at a lovely meet and greet dinner. The conference continued to wow with book signings from some of my favorite authors, lectures from Nationally recognized physicians and interesting and well-known speakers galore.
Food Allergy Blogger Conference Information
So….if you manage life threatening food allergies then you might be interested. I’m deeply honored to be speaking this year. I have to confess that really what blew me out of the water last year was meeting folks I know online and physically connecting and learning with people who have changed my life. I’m a hugger and it was a hug fest in my world.
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!..
