A Successful Event

Thank you to our attendees and exhibitors who participated in this year's successful event. We are very pleased with the increase in interest from all of the locavores!
We will be sending a survey out to the attendees and exhibitors this week. Just like last year, we are taking your responses into account to make next year's event better. If you would like to make sure you are participating in the survey, please email us!

We would like to extend a special thank you to all of the speakers and chefs who helped to make our event so enriching for the attendants. Sandor Katz, our keynote speaker who fortunately can speak for hours, provided an intelligent and down to earth view of supporting local sustainability.

Because so many times the organizers of the event cannot be everywhere at all times, I have found several local bloggers who attended the event and have written about the event that are linked to below so you can get a better overall view of the feel of the event. If you know of anyone else who blogs about local food in Pittsburgh, please let us know!
