ShiftCon Shifts East!

Third Annual ShiftCon Social Media Conference Moves
to New Orleans to Reach Even More Eco-Wellness Bloggers
and Healthy Lifestyles Influencers

3rd Annual ShiftCon – the premier eco-wellness social media conference – will be held Dec. 1-3 at the Hilton New Orleans Riverside.

(January 18, 2016) – From voluntary GMO labeling and artificial ingredient removal to increased legislative banning of toxic substances, the food, health, and environmental landscape is rapidly changing. And for every positive shift, it’s been the power of consumers and advocates using their voices, their networks, and their wallets to create change.

Born of the idea that together people can create a profound positive impact on the world, ShiftCon was designed to bring the online eco-wellness blogging niche together into one powerful, collaborative community. Now entering its third year, Shiftcon has defined itself as the premier eco-wellness conference, bringing together bloggers, social media specialists, nonprofits, health and sustainability experts, and leading natural, organic, and eco-friendly brands to shift the world towards greater sustainability.

Founded by blogger, mom, and entrepreneur Leah Segedie, the annual gathering offers a collaborative environment of networking and learning. Industry experts will host interactive workshops on social media best practices, food safety, GMO labeling, organic food production, sustainability, and the environment. Through networking events, hospitality suites, and an Expo, attendees also have opportunities to learn about products, sustainability initiatives, and meet with companies and nonprofits that are helping to create a healthier, more sustainable world.

After two successful conferences in the Los Angeles area, Leah decided to bring Shiftcon 2016 to a different part of the country, allowing influencers from the South and East Coast easier access and broadening the spectrum and diversity of attendees.

“ShiftCon has been incredibly successful year after year. But every year we do it, influencers from the South and East coast practically beg us to come closer, so this year we decided to make that happen!” says Leah Segedie. “I’m proud to announce New Orleans as our next location in December.”

Registration is now open for bloggers, businesses and nonprofits. Ticket prices include educational sessions, fitness activities, swag bag, receptions and breakfasts. For information about sponsorships please contact Leah Segedie, [email protected].
