JOIN THE CULINARY NUTRITION CONFERENCE WEEK!
The Culinary Nutrition Conference takes place online June 7-10
DON’T MISS THIS ENERGIZING WEEK
Culinary nutrition merges nutritional science and traditional diets with practical everyday culinary skills to bring health into the place where it all starts – our home kitchens.
The Culinary Nutrition Conference Week brings together a diverse selection of graduates of the Culinary Nutrition Expert Program who have taken what they’ve learned to impact their own health, that of their families, their communities and in some cases, to launch new businesses.
Health comes in all forms and affects every aspect of our lives. The conversations, insights, practical tips and inspiration from our panel of speakers will reinvigorate your personal life and maybe even your professional direction.
Get Excited! This is a week that can impact the rest of your life.
How conference week works:
During Culinary Nutrition Conference Week, you will gain access to one panel a day to enjoy 45 minute sessions packed with inspiration, learning & fun.
If you’re unable to tune in on the day of the panel, you will be able to enjoy the panel discussions for a limited time.
Through these sessions, you will learn actionable steps you can take to improve your health, the health of your friends and family, and maybe ignite a new business idea.
