2019 Chesapeake Food Summit

EVENT INFORMATION

The Chesapeake Food Summit (www.chesapeakefoodsummit.org) is a unique opportunity for our region’s food system leaders to come together as one community to form new relationships within the food sector, share the latest innovations, and strengthen our region’s growing food system. Last year, we gathered over 400 food system leaders to celebrate recent progress and share the latest innovations in our region’s food system. This year we will build on that momentum with a focus on optimizing the Chesapeake region’s food supply chain to deliver nutritious and affordable food, good jobs, sustainable sourcing, and positive health outcomes for all.

The Food Summit will take place on Tuesday, October 15 at Union Market. With a deep history as a center of food commerce in the nation’s capital, Union Market is renowned for launching and scaling food businesses and for creating community around diverse yet likeminded creative entrepreneurs. It is the perfect setting to bring together thought leaders, advocates and business representatives to innovate and create new paths forward.

Participant registration: $350

Discounted registration rate for nonprofit employees, students, small business owners, and government employees: $50

Limited scholarships are available. To apply, please send an email to foodsummit@arabellaadvisors.com with your name and a one-sentence description of your work in the food sector by September 15, 2019.
