We thought long and hard about who we wanted to invite to keynote the MN Blogger Conference this year. Should we go for big names, small names, international, national, local?
Mykl and I have attended many conferences ourselves, so we thought about what resonated with us most from our favorite keynotes – Connection. Passion. Relatable. Knowledgeable.
When we boiled it down to those elements, Keane Amdahl was the first person who came to mind. Keane is an anchor within the Twin Cities food blogging community, having written hundreds of articles for City Pages, Eater, and Lavender Magazine, as well as his personal blog. He’s passionate about food, he’s connected to the community, and he’s managed to intertwine them both through blogging.
We’re excited to welcome Keane as the keynote for the 6th annual MN Blogger Conference!
Keane Amdahl
Armed with a ferocious appetite and an insatiable thirst for food knowledge, Minneapolis based food blogger Keane Amdahl has set his sights on learning about everything that makes the Twin Cities one of the most up and coming culinary destinations in the country. Along with popular trends, Amdahl also focuses extensively on sustainable food systems and the societal and ecological effects of our modern industrialized system of agriculture.
Having worked most recently as the Sustainable Seafood Coordinator at the Minnesota Zoo and having written hundreds of published articles and blog posts for Thrillist, City Pages, Lavender, Eater, and the Twin Cities Food Finds restaurant guide, Amdahl continues to hone both his pallet and technical knowledge in an effort to bring his readers the best in food related content.
