The Menus of Change Leadership Summit features over 50 presenters, including nutrition and environmental scientists, consumer insight experts, chefs and culinary entrepreneurs, CIA faculty, business leaders and investment analysts, industry sector innovators, and other food systems changemakers. The topics addressed are critically relevant to chefs and operators working to secure the financial viability of their restaurants and foodservice operations while also advancing healthy, sustainable, delicious foods and menus.

18th Annual Research Conference

The conference aims to promote reflection on how much progress we have made in 36 years and on new understandings related to sustainable consumption. The aim of the discussions is to identify gaps, define mechanisms to speed up progress, and map out institutional partnerships necessary for a fair transition.

We'll be back at the iconic Town & Country Resort for another transformative gathering of business leaders, innovators, and sustainability changemakers from around the world.

We are excited to announce that our 2026 annual conference will be held virtually in June.

The conference will provide an opportunity for professionals from a variety of sustainability-related roles at SUNY colleges and beyond to connect and learn from one another.
