What is ShiftCon?

ShiftCon is the premier eco-wellness social media conference. In its 3rd year, ShiftCon was designed to bring the online eco-wellness blogging niche together into one powerful, collaborative community. ShiftCon brings 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.

When and where will ShiftCon take place?

ShiftCon will be held December 1-3, 2016 in New Orleans, Louisiana.

Who will be at ShiftCon?

The annual gathering offers bloggers a collaborative environment of networking and learning. Industry experts host interactive workshops on social media best practices, food safety, GMO labeling, organic food production, sustainability, and the environment.

Why is ShiftCon an important, must do conference?

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.

Who founded ShiftCon and what is its mission?

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.

Founder Leah Segedie is a wife, mother, “100 lbs. Loser,” food activist and founder of the Mamavation community. Through Mamavation, she teaches “digital moms” healthy living practices and collectively, the women of Mamavation have lost over 3,500 lbs. As a food activist Leah organizes trending Twitter parties to educate the public about the North American food system, along with other issues impacting public health. Working with healthy lifestyle brands, Leah utilizes the blogging network she has cultivated – a network of over 10,000 bloggers – to create wellness related media campaigns. Leah was named “Mom of the Year” in 2010 by Shape Magazine, the 4th Most Influential Mom Blogger by Cision Media, and in 2014 she also was named to the Top 10 Women Changing School Nutrition by Smart Snacks in School. Segedie has been compared by the Huffington Post to Lady Gaga for her unique social media tactics, and her blog was named Fitness Magazine’s Favorite Weight Loss Blog. Her upcoming book from Rodale Publishing is expected to hit stores March of 2017.
