Brenda, Norm and I,the Hill Team, belong to the International Food, Wine & Travel Writers Association (IFWTWA). As a Board Member and Conference/Media Trip Co-Chairman, I’m excited to write about our upcoming Conference at Sea on Holland America’s MS Oosterdam, January 3-10, 2009 departing San Diego with stops in Cabo San Lucas, Mazatlan and Puerto Vallarta where we are planning exciting excursions.

For food, wine or travel writers, this is a perfect time to join. For those who are members, a program not to miss. We’ll have professional development as well as chef demos.

Our associate members are invited to join us and we will have a mini-marketplace.

This conference is open to all media and industry professionals, including writers, photographers, public relations, publicists and marketing personnel. Non-members who sign up and pay for this conference by November are eligible for a full 1-year membership with all benefits, included in the listed price.

Come join us for a great experience. Plus, that will give us the chance to meet you.
