This fall the James Beard Foundation will explore the creation and evolution of food trends and their impact on the food movement at its seventh annual conference in New York City. The conference, being held at the Convene Conference Center on October 17 and 18, will bring together a diverse group of experts from across disciplines to explore the genesis and lifecycle of trends and apply that knowledge to food-system issues.
Over the course of two days, speakers, panelists, and presenters will help participants examine their own influence in trend-making and their place in the food movement so they can be more effective and strategic in their work.
The JBF Food Conference will also include the James Beard Foundation Leadership Awards dinner and ceremony on Monday, October 17, at Hearst Tower, co-hosted by Good Housekeeping. Now in its sixth year, the ceremony will honor six visionaries across a broad range of backgrounds who influence how, why and what we eat.
Conference attendees are also invited to the official welcome reception, featuring the winners of the Blended Burger Project, on Sunday, October 16 from 6 - 8 PM at the James Beard House.
