The event kicks off with a full day of engaging Pre-Conference Sessions designed to provide practical ideas, innovative strategies, and valuable insights for today’s school nutrition professionals.

Attendees will also have the opportunity to participate in A Spoonful of Magic: Vendor Presentations, featuring short, focused presentations from industry partners showcasing products, ideas, and solutions relevant to K-12 food service.

The experience continues with our Vendor Showcase, featuring more than 120 manufacturers and suppliers serving the school nutrition industry.
