Sponsor a Blogger

IFBC is providing this forum so that bloggers and businesses can connect. We are not endorsing any company or blogger, nor are we involved in the match-making.

This is strictly between the Blogger and the Business!

Businesses: Don't have the time or staff to go to IFBC and represent your company? Would you like a seasoned food blogger to attend on behalf of your company? Have a food blogger be your representative. They will network, blog, tweet and more for you!

Bloggers: Looking for a sponsor to attend IFBC this year? Simply post a comment below with information about you and your blog, any relevant qualifications, and how companies may contact you. Share on the IFBC Twitter to help get your request out.

Good Luck!

I’m a 2-year IFBC alum (I’m in the photo above, black sweater) and would love to attend on behalf of any baking-related companies. I’m a baker blogger, active on Twitter (in my little niche), and I’ve had great success networking at IFBC (and other events) over the last few years. Drop me a note if you’re interested – I’d love to attend the Santa Monica event, if possible.

I’ve never been to any food blogging conference, even though I’ve been blogging for almost two years. Being a Canadian, it’s often more expensive to travel outside the country to these events, and I’ve also had the pleasure of having some babies in the past two years. Babies make it awfully difficult to travel. I would love to attend the IFBC and meet all the people I’ve been conversing with all this time. My blog is called Guilty Kitchen and mostly concentrates on seasonal, natural food. I do a little of everything really…but all my recipes are original. I was a professional cook for seven years before having children. I would love to attend on behalf of any companies that are as gung ho about natural, seasonal food as I am. I’m active on Twitter and Facebook and post three times a week on my blog.

I attended the IFBC last year in Seattle and loved taking in every minute of it. A little about me, I’m from Boston and write a daily blog that is devoted to creating recipes from simple ingredients and doing it all from a small city kitchen. Currently a culinary school student studying at the Cambridge School of Culinary Arts, I also share what I learn in class to help my readers learn more about the exciting (and creative) world of culinary arts and how to apply that knowledge at home. The very foundation of my thoughts on food is that is should be fun, it should be creative and it should be a way to derive a sense of pleasure from something that we as humans have to do every day.

Hi, My name is Dominique McGhee. A few months ago I started food blogging about the Houston food scene as well as posting up dishes that my friend and I make. I typically am out trying new places a few times a week and add posts up at least once a week; whether it be a review or a food related quote or picture of interest. I am very interested in helping Houston to get more notice in the culinary world and I think attending IFBC in SaMo would be a great experience. I am on twitter : @foodmonsters and facebook: Food Monsters. My email is: houstonsfoodmonster@gmail.com. Thank You for your time, Dominique

After switching to a real food way of eating, I was personally able to reduce the debilitating effects of a chronic and painful disease that has plagued me since childhood. I was also able to triumph over infertility after being told I had no hope. I am now on a mission to change the way we feed our familes. I am the founder of healthnutfoodie.com and the author of the recently published Feeding our Families: Bringing back the made-from-scratch family dinner. Now that my book is published, I am excited to start using my blog, social media, and word of mouth to start promoting companies/brands that I am passionate about and that share the same vision as my family. I am looking for a sponsor that supports a real food way of eating, possibly organic, high-quality brand that wants to help me ignite a movement of change within the blogging community. Thank you so much for your consideration; I am so excited about this possible partnership!!!

My birthday is in November. I know what you're thinking, "What can I get the cute girl from Domestic Fits for her birthday?!" Well, thank you for thinking of and I'll make it really easy. I would LOVE to attend IFBC in Santa Monica (I live in LA so no travel cost required, just conference fees. See, look how easy I'm making it!) and more than that, I would LOVE to attend on behalf of a company that is as in love with food and writing as I am. Please check out my blog: http://www.domesticfits.com/ and I hope that I am a right fit for your company. I haven't started to advertise, so you won't have any competition YET! I'm looking forward to my birthday present and you don't even have to wrap it.

I have been blogging for a little over two years on a consistent basis. My posts range from recipes (from my growing cookbook collection) and gardening to life in Maine (I just moved into an old farmhouse 20 miles from Portland - America's small town food center) and travel (Paris, San Francisco, LA, NYC...). Last year I attended Seattle IFBC, this year I plan to go to New Orleans. I am also on Twitter and Pinterest. What else? I studied baking at King Arthur Flour and the Cambridge School of Culinary Arts and have taken a few canning and preserving workshops. For the past 15 years I've been lactose intolerant, so that comes into my writing at times. During the days leading up to the conference I'll be in New Orleans eating and drinking at James Beard award-winning restaurants with a local fashion designer friend reusing materials left from Katrina, dancing to Kermit Ruffins, bicycling around the Treme and along Lake Pontchartrain, and helping out with a rebuild project. I like to take it all in, be a part of a community when I go somewhere. Life is certainly a journey and meals are meant as respites along the way to share and build upon. I love food, adventures, and stories - hearing and telling. I'd love to hear yours and share it.

Muy Bueno means "very good" in Spanish, it's also what our gramma, Jesusita, used to say when she called us to her table to eat. So our blog is intertwined with childhood memories of food with authentic Mexican flavor and cultural traditions based on three generations of recipes and memories. Gramma is first generation, mom is second generation and my sister and I make the third generation. We started this blog to share our family recipes and stories with family and friends and now we share them with our cyber family too. We invite you to look at our site and if you like what you see let's chat about a sponsorship and how we can make this a wonderful experience for you the brand and us the blogger. Besos, Veronica

As a former pastry chef, I started the blog as way to grow my cooking muscles and try new things. LKM has been around for 3 years, I have attended Foodbuzz Fest both years, I regularly volunteer for food events and I have a great Twitter presence. Though I would love going to the NOLA conference more than anything, I would be equally delighted to attend the Santa Monica event. I am a high energy, charismatic person & would be prefect to represent a brand with the same feel. Thanks!

After 7 years of being homesick, I went on a quest to fall in love with Florida and explore restaurants that reminded me of my favorite city by the bay. I began my blog, My Other City By The Bay in April of 2010 and have discovered a passion for food writing. My blog has led me to become a featured contributor for VERTICAL Tampa Bay as well as a top blogger on www.restauranteers.com I recently launched another blog, www.eatdrinkandbetracy.com and am working on my first book, The Lemon Drop Ladies. Being a single mom makes it tough to make the trip to Santa Monica, so I am looking for a potential sponsor.

Hi! I'm Ally, and I'm ready to promote your brand at the IFBC in Santa Monica! I've got extensive experience cooking, shopping for food products, creating new recipes, photographing food and being recognized for my culinary talents! I was a Top 100 Contestant on this season's Master Chef, and I will be featured in the NOV issue of 'Taste of Home' magazine for my winning bolognese recipe for the Gallo Winery Family Recipe contest. My trademark culinary style is what I call 'Bohemian Bold'...I take peasant fare and transform it into something luxurious, chic and gourmet. Cooking for me has been an addictive passion since I was 10 years old, AND my professional training as a psychologist (doctorate degree, hence "Dr. Alice") gives me an understanding of how foods and moods are inter-connected. My myriad life experiences have exposed me to so much! I have traveled the world extensively, been a transplant from my Southern roots (SC & WV), to Boston living there for a couple of years, have raised 3 world-class young men, had a son go to war (Iraq) twice, ride a Harley w/my husband and hiked the Grand Canyon several times (once rim-to-rim!). I'm an outdoors active person loving hiking, cycling, snow shoeing, cross country skiing, and YOGA! In my 'encore' career I have pursued acting in both film and theatre, and I have an impressive resume to boot! :) I have an infectious personality, a talent for making others want to talk and share and an energy level, smile and magnetism that draws others to me. When I am engaged with food and with products I believe in, these traits are even more personified! My FB cooking page www.facebook.com/allykitchen has literally taken off since I launched it in March 2011. In the past month I have had nearly 200,000 views, and my fans are from the U.S. and 18 countries! I will soon launch my website, which will be much more than just cooking/food and culinary...it will be a lifestyle website that uses food as the glue that connects everyone. If you are interested in talking to me to learn more, I would be honored to hear from you. Contact me at my FB cooking page (www.facebook.com) or my personal FB page 'Alice D'Antoni Phillips' Thanks so much! Ally

Hello, I write the popular Brazilian food blog Da Minha Cozinha. It is a portuguese language blog focusing on stories of cooking and memory. With more than 100 photo-filled posts Da Minha Cozinha has emerged as one of the most popular food blogs in the Brazilian market. Several of its pages are listed as #1 on Google search listings in portuguese. Its readers look to it for all sorts of ideas in the kitchen. We explore the best of Brazil's seasonal ingredients, discover new ways of cooking with innovative products and resources, and revisit vanishing traditions and foodways. The Brazilian market is growing at a very fast pace. Da Minha Cozinha's readers are looking for new products and ingredients, and how to put them to use in their kitchens. Da Minha Cozinha is a gateway for your product to this rapidly growing market. I would like to attend the IFBC to make Da Minha Cozinha a better blog for its readers and I am happy to carry the banner of a sponsor on its journey.

Hi, My name is Linda. I am ready to launch. I am very interested in attending the IFBC in Santa Monica, CA. I have been blogging for just a little over 1 year. I am originally from Connecticut (Born and raised). I lived in N.C. for 10 years and now here in Florida since 2005. I am married to my husband, Mike for 25 years and have four children and two small Grandbabies. I have a broad knowledge of creating and cooking many types of dishes. I like hardy, comfort type meals...usually pasta. I can probably think of 101 ways to create a pasta dish using just about any type of ingredient. Yes, you guessed it, I am Italian. But I really do like just about any type of food. I can't think of anything I do not like. My lasagna noodles are made from scratch, not from a box. This dish also received all top numbers in all categories during my Master Chef competition last Nov. My recipes are all authentic and original. I like using an array of ingredients and herbs, like basil, cilantro, sun dried tomatoes, artichokes, olive oils, balsamic, pestos, garlic and much, much more. Living in Florida I have the opportunity to the freshest fruits and vegetables to create the most delightful meals. I do not follow recipes. I can very easily just look at a picture and vision what is in that recipe or what ingredients would taste good together. Check out my Facebook page and my blog for some interesting recipes. You can view tons of pictures I have posted too. I am not afraid to tackle anything. I love being put to the challenge (which I do everyday with myself) to come up with something different and exciting. Give me a chance to show you what I can do. I am very pleasant, people friendly, assertive and very polite. My background in business is Real Estate. I also managed a large company back in N.C. Soon after that I decided to follow my dream and love for cooking and enroll in Culinary School. My husband and I presently own a fiberglass boat repair business in Englewood, Fl. You are also welcome to view his website. (Promboats.com). Up until 1 year ago I owned a small restaurant. Due to the economy I had to sell it. I took a run down greasy spoon kind of place and turned it into a very warm friendly feeling kind of place. We were voted #1 for our Philly Cheese Steak Sandwich....Go figure!!! I never even lived in Philly. But with a little bit of research, I was able to be the best in town. That is what I like to do. Please feel free to contact me with questions at anytime. I am looking forward to help promote your company and your product. Thank you for this opportunity and I look forward to meeting and working with you. http://www.facebook.com/pages/World-Class-Cooking/170714909627373 http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100001696822661 worldclasscooking.blogspot.com

I’m a Southern girl who loves to tell a good story. I live within driving distance of New Orleans, so travel would not be an issue. And I have secured the registration fee for the conference.

I'm blogger of Awake at the Whisk and co-founder of the nonprofit California Food Literacy Center. Our mission is to inspire change today for a healthy, sustainable tomorrow through enduring food education. The work of our nonprofit focuses on large-scale public education efforts that extend to multiple tiers of our region: media to school classrooms. We intend to package our programs to enable other communities to download and spread the message in their own cities and schools. A network of supportive bloggers--fostered by attendance at IFBC--who help us spread the educational message will make our efforts an even greater success. Sponsorship to cover full conference expenses would enable California Food Literacy Center to spend those dollars on educational materials for local California schools. (Our website is set to launch in December. Meanwhile, you can view our Facebook page at: https://www.facebook.com/CaliforniaFoodLiteracyCenter.) Thanks for your consideration!

Hello from Washington, DC! I am a food blogger who specializes in restaurant reviews of the DC area and beyond. I have never been to an IFBC event before and would love to be sponsored to attend either the Portland or Santa Monica event. If you are a restaurant or food group and need someone to attend on your behalf, I'm your gal! I am very active via social media and can help promote your business at this event. Please contact me on Facebook or Twitter @WhatMickyEats.

I author the blog "Spices and Aroma". During pregnancy, I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes and that's when an alarm rang in my head and started to eat right. I began to give importance to calories,low glycemic foods, whole grains like quinoa, buckwheat,barley. I ventured out in the market, bought local produce and came up with Indian inspired recipes with the ingredients I got in hand.When my baby was 6 months old, I started with South beach diet and in 3 months, I lost close to 20 pounds and I am still on the weightloss journey. I share my tips, struggles and story with the readers and those who want cooking ideas to lose weight come back for more. I have heard a lot about IFBC but have never had an opportunity to attend one.I would love to partner with a wholefoods/healthy snacks/ low glycemic index food related companies. Sponsorship for me would be amazing. Thank you!

Hi! I blog over at What Jew Wanna Eat about fun Jewish recipes with a twist such as Mexican potato latkes or flourless chocolate cupcakes for Passover and I would live to represent your brand at this conference! I am active on twitter, Facebook and Pinterest and some say I'm pretty funny too. Since I'm in culinary school, I'm pretty darn broke, but would love to attend my first food blogger conference and share my experiences and your brand on my blog for my readers of all religions. Thanks for reading and feel free to contact me at Amy at whatjewwannaeat dot com!

As a newly disabled catering coordinator, I need to find a new line of work. Food blogging is so much less lifting, and so much more fun and satisfying. As a total noob, I need help desperately!!! Please help me get to the conference! Besides the crazy amount of fun to be had, I could learn sooo much. Thank you for thinking of me!

I've been a freelance writer for many years, and a gluten free eater since 2007. Just this month, I launched Gluten Free Redhead, after years of sharing GF recipes on my personal blog. So many people hear the words "gluten free" and think they're going to be stuck eating boring foods for the rest of their lives. I want to show people that gluten-free food can be fun, exciting and -- dare we say it? -- sexy! Gluten Free Redhead will be focusing not just on recipes and food planning, but also product reviews, restaurants, and nutritional information. I've never attended a food blogging conference, so I'm hoping this will be a chance for me to meet some of the best and brightest in the business!

Hi, My name is Dominique McGhee. I started food blogging about the Houston food scene as well as posting up dishes that my friend and I make. I typically am out trying new places a few times a week and add posts up at least once a week; whether it be a review or a food related quote or picture of interest. I am very interested in helping Houston to get more notice in the culinary world and I think attending IFBC in Portland would be a great experience. We are currently community ambassadors for Chevy Houston and have hosted our own Internet radio show. I am on twitter : @foodmonsters and facebook: Food Monsters. My email is: houstonsfoodmonster@gmail.com. Thank You for your time, Dominique Www.themonsterlifestyle.com
