This is a blog post I’ve been wanting to get up for a while, but somehow in the chaos it kept slipping my mind. The Wine Bloggers Conference 2010is in Walla Walla, Washington from June 25-27. Last year, I discovered the wine bloggers conference about the same time it was going on so needless to say I didn’t attend. I’m hoping to head out to Walla Walla this year, but our timing might not work out with some other summer plans.

The purpose of the symposium is to bring together wine bloggers, new media innovators and wine industry leaders to learn and discuss the intersection of wine and the world of new media, including blogging and social media. The 2010 conference has been expanded to include content on wine & food pairings. Last year, this event was at capacity with several bloggers left on a wait list.

To help offset the cost of traveling to and from Walla Walla and attending the Wine Bloggers Conference, a Wine Bloggers Conference Scholarshiphas been established. After we are settled in Austin, I hope to apply for some funds to attend. That is if the dates can be coordinated with our other summer plans. The Wine Bloggers Conference Scholarship is accepting donations to “help send a blogger to camp.” Visit their website for more information.

Attending the Wine Bloggers Conference is a great chance to meet some of my fellow bloggers and sample some of the fantastic wines of the Pacific Northwest. So keep your fingers crossed that everything works out!
