What makes Tastemaker Conference different from other conferences?
At Tastemaker, your learning experience is designed with you in mind. We know that every creator is on a unique path, and we’ve built a structure that makes sure you get the exact education you need—without the overwhelm. Here’s how it works:
Skills-Based Tracks
You’ll choose between two levels of classes, depending on your experience and goals:
- 301 Level Courses (Intermediate): These are 50-minute sessions designed for creators who have a few years under their belt. Each 301 session is offered once per day, and then repeated the next day—so you never have to worry about missing one.
- 701 Level Courses (Advanced): These are deep-dive, 2-hour sessions for experienced creators ready to tackle higher-level strategies. They run at the same time as 301 sessions, so you get to decide whether you want to stick with all 701s or mix it up with a combination of 301 and 701 classes.
Think of it like a choose-your-own-adventure book—you get to pick the path that fits your skill level, interests, and the future you’re building for your business.
Hands-On Instruction
Research consistently shows that adult learners retain information best when they can apply what they’ve learned through hands-on experiences that are relevant to their unique circumstances. That’s why we’ve adopted a college-inspired structure, offering guided implementation of learned skills in each session—think of it like a Lecture and Lab all in one! This format allows you to first gain foundational knowledge and then apply it in your business context, solidifying your understanding and ensuring you leave knowing exactly what your next steps are.
Tech Study Hall
If a class doesn’t quite fit your needs, you don’t have to sit it out—you can head to our Tech Study Hall. This dedicated space is open throughout the conference for you to book one-on-one time with tech experts and mentors. Whether you want to troubleshoot your site, get clarity on tools, or workshop a specific challenge, you’ll get real-time support tailored to you. It’s another way to keep making progress and advance your business on your own terms.

Networking Roundtables
7:00 am – 8:00 am Check in/ Networking Roundtables
Tastemaker Conference feels strongly that community over competition is the key to success. Creators of all levels can benefit from interacting in a small-group setting with one another. The goal of these roundtables is to provide a more personal setting in which creators of all different backgrounds, niches, and experience levels can discuss industry topics with one another. And who knows–you might just meet your new creator bestie!
How do I participate in Networking Roundtables?
While participation is optional, ALL conference attendees will be randomly assigned to a roundtable group. Each group will have approximately 15-20 members and be equally distributed with bloggers of all experience levels and backgrounds. Roundtable groups will meet on both Day 1 & Day 2 from 7:30 – 8:00 in the main stage area, with designated tables for chatting over coffee!
A discussion facilitator will be assigned to each group (by Tastemaker Conference, ahead of time). Facilitators will spearhead virtual introductions one week prior to the conference, so everyone will have a few friendly faces to look out for at TC26!

Andrew Bernard (He/him)
Andrew Bernard is the quiet, quirky, introverted guy you’ll probably spot wandering around
Tastemakers—usually solo, definitely observing, and always up for a chat (as long as you start it). Bonus points if the topic is snowboarding, Marvel, or the fact that he probably brought his
Playstation to the conference.He’s the creative mind behind Make It Dairy Free and The Nard Dog Cooks, a vegan YouTube
channel dishing out bold, flavor-packed recipes with approachable video tutorials. His storytelling, low-key pep talks, and creative visuals help his content stand out—even if he’s still surprised anyone watches.Andrew is a self-taught chef, videographer, and award-winning photographer who’s figured out how to combine food, film, and just enough awkward charm to create a space where cooking and content collide.
He’s grown a loyal community of food lovers (not just vegans!) who come for the recipes, but stay for the heart, humor, and encouraging reminders that you’ve got this—even if your sauce breaks or your biscuits burn. His go-to philosophy: Believe in Yourself. Believe in Others. Believe in Good. (And maybe don’t forget to preheat the oven.)
