Description
What happens when your favorite food-obsessed creators jump off your feed and into real life? You get FoodieCon® — where food culture, content, and community collide IRL.
This year, FoodieCon® is bigger, bolder, and more creator-packed than ever, bringing together a curated lineup of digital tastemakers, chefs, and culinary personalities you already follow (and obsess over): @keith_lee125, @the_pastaqueen, @realchefrush, @brunchwithbabs, @maxthemeatguy, @owen.han, @healthygirlkitchen, @foodbymaria, @andyeastcoastkitchen_, @cookingwithshereen, @logansfewd, @okaycoolgigi, @succulentbite, and @onestopchop_— all coming together for one unforgettable day celebrating food and the internet culture that fuels it.
We’re taking over the Andaz Miami Beach for a full-day experience designed to feed your creativity (and your appetite). Expect scroll-stopping cooking demos, interactive panels with top creators, immersive brand activations, photo ops you’ll actually want to post, and book signings with the creators you already binge online.
Whether you’re a devoted foodie, an aspiring content creator, or just hungry for something new, FoodieCon® celebrates the people shaping how we cook, eat, share, and experience food today — with engaging Q&As, meet & greets, and can’t-miss moments throughout the day.
And yes — your ticket includes food and drinks all day long. Come hungry, leave happy, and don’t forget to snap a pic (or ten) before that first bite.
FoodieCon® is where the internet’s favorite flavors come to life.
