The Future of Food:

This month we'll explore trending topics in the production, promotion and consumption of food. 
Emphasis will be placed on changes in the relationship between the service provider and customer. Additionally we’ll explore trending topics including food trucks, underground supper clubs, local sustainability, and more.Join us on August 31, 2010 as we explore the future of food!

A few topics we plan to cover:
- What does it take for a restaurant to succeed with social media?
- Tainted eggs and food safety... Is the industrial system broken?
- Food trucks are everywhere! What's all the fuss about?
- Sharing what we eat and where we eat it... but why?
- Local, Sustainable, Organic... Hype or here to stay?

Details:
It takes more for a restaurant to succeed then just knowing how to prepare the perfect dish or serve the most trendy cocktail. Creativity is expected not only in the kitchen, but also in knowing how to market your brand, connect with the customer and of course bloggers who are critical to the social element of food/foodies online.

With traditional newspaper food pages shrinking, the industry has grabbed onto social media as the next great movement. Yet, although anyone can initiate a viral campaign, it does not mean it will spread. How do you share your story and stand out from the crowd?
