PAST IFWTWA CONFERENCES

The International Food, Wine & Travel Writers Assn^TM (IFWTWA) holds a professional development conference every 12-18 months in either North America or an International location. These events often include press trips, professional training, food and wine tastings, culinary events and attraction tours all rolled into one great event at the destination and the surrounding areas of our conference. 

We invite you to review the highlights of our past conferences and consider joining us, either virtually or in-person, as best suits your travel and career goals.
