While a portion of the event content is tailored to the Southeast region in particular, there is valuable information for those from outside the region as well, so if you are interested in culinary tourism and able to attend, we certainly encourage you to do so. MEDIA: Join us for a Culinary Tourism MediaMix on Thursday April 3rd from 5:00-5:45pm to interview symposium speakers and representatives from the International Culinary Tourism Association and Baton Rouge Area Convention & Visitors Bureau. Erik Wolf, ICTA President & CEO, will also give a SNEAK PREVIEW of FoodTrekker.com - the Insider's Guide to the World's Best Food & Drink Experiences. Afterwards, enjoy hors d'oevres with symposium delegates while learning about the latest culinary tourism initiatives in your region and receive a voucher to join symposium delegates for the evening's Dine-Around. If you are an accredited journalist interested in attending, please contact Melanie Soules, info@culinarytourism.org or (+1)503-750-7200.
