our new + improved
Let’s talk about the updated structure of Tastemaker Conference!
We will be trying something new this year with a learning style that we consider to be similar to that of a college or university structure, containing a few different features to make the education portion of this event the best it can be. Let’s go over the details!
- Education Levels: We will have an Intermediate Track at the same time as an Advanced Track. This decision is based off the survey data from our attendees, with the majority of our attendees identifying as intermediate to advanced content creators. Attendees who have a few years under their belt in content creation are encouraged to attend 301 classes, while advanced content creators who have been in the industry for many years are encouraged to attend 701 classes.
- Lecture and Lab: Many college courses provide a lecture and lab for a hands-on experience to help you learn to the best of your ability. Research shows that adult learners retain information most by doing the learning in application. This is why many of our sessions have one (1) lecture session on Day 1, and then one (1) hands-on session on Day 2, which will focus on the same topic and the same skill level.
- Out-of-session option: During each session, we also have the Tech Study Hall open, where you can book sessions with tech experts and mentors to answer your questions in real-time. If a class doesn’t appeal to you or you believe it’s something you have nailed down, then we have options on-site for you to help you advance your business the best way possible.
- Tech Study Hall: this is similar to the 2023 conference and has a space dedicated to our Tech + SEO Sponsors. In this space, you are able to meet and ask all your tech-related questions to the experts. This is a space for those looking to start practical application of the information they’ve learned while in session.

Mentor Roundtables
This year we are adding Mentor Roundtables to the agenda! Tastemaker Conference feels strongly that community over competition is the key to success. Creators of all levels can benefit from learning from one another. Even the most experienced creators can benefit by sharing their knowledge with the group. And, who knows, you might just meet your new creator bestie!
What are Mentor Roundtables?
The Mentor Roundtable is a chance to meet and learn from attendees in a small group setting. Attendees of all experience levels will be in each group with the goal to learn from one another.
How are Mentor groups assigned?
All attendees will be randomly assigned to a mentor roundtable group. All groups will have a designated mentor leader who is considered a knowledgeable blogger/creator/expert. The mentor leader will be in charge of leading the discussion and available as a resource to the group. Expect to hear from your mentor the week before the event!
