2009 NBBQA conference (Austin)

Professor Salt · Jan 4, 2009

Is anyone here going to the National BBQ Association's annual conference? This is a group geared more for the restaurant & catering pro, although they will have some things of interest to the backyarder & contest cook.

They will have both MBN judging class and a KCBS judging class. Johnny Trigg & Rod Gray will be doing their Old School vs High Tech cooking class. There's a ServSafe certification for those who'd like to get theirs.

In the interest of disclosure, I will be one of the panelists speaking at this event. Was curious which Brethren I might meet at this event.

Wish I could be there but alas, cannnot.
Hope you have a good time and are able to meet up with those who can make it.
Look forward to updates as to how your panel discussion goes as well.
Enjoy.

Bubba and I are trying to work our way down to Austin. We will post if we are going...

jgh1204 · Jan 4, 2009

I will have to put that on the calendar.

Jorge · Jan 4, 2009

I'm planning on taking the class Rod and Johnny are putting on.

Edit: I'm taking the class. Not sure how much else I'll do there. Shoot me a PM if you need any Austin info.

I'll be on the Savvy Marketing Plans panel. I was asked to take part based on an website creation article I wrote for the NBBQA's magazine earlier this year.

I attended last year's conference. Most of the seminars I listeneed to last year were good, with expert speakers sharing hard earned advice. The Succesful Caterering class that includes Joe Oaster on the panel is full of great advice from seasoned pros. They needed to move that seminar into a bigger room to accomodate all the people who wanted in. That particular one is a must-see for anyone who wants to get into, or improve, their catering business.

Jorge - looking forwared to meeting you!
jgh - not sure which places are on the bus tours (either day). I didn't fly in early enough last year to take part in the bus tours. Still debating whether to take off from my day job to do that this year.
Sypdermike and Bubba - hope you guys can make it.

Professor, they had the lineups of the places to be visited. The legends tour would be worth it.

Is their a lot of information for the backyarder?

Marla and I will be going and we will be helping on two of the presentations. Looking forward to it.

Ulcer Acres · Jan 5, 2009

Ordered my day pass for Saturday.

Jorge · Feb 17, 2009

I know a few other folks will be there on Saturday, drinking from the firehose of knowledge presented by Rod Gray and Johnny Trigg.

I'm sure I can be found in the hotel bar Friday night

Jorge · Feb 22, 2009

Before forking over the fee to listen to Rod and Johnny I asked several people if it was worth it. They were right! Worth every penny! It's worth it just to hear a few stories from Johnny.

Beyond that is a lot of info. Some was new, some wasn't, but all of it as presented has given me a lot to think about and work on regarding process to start.

Rod, Sheri, Johnny, and Trish were great hosts and instructors. This class is highly recomended if you have the opportunity!
