Call for Presentations

We are happy to announce the theme for the 2019 Conference: Culinary Education Revolution! Keeping our programs relevant, vibrant, and impactful. And we’re looking for presentations in three categories for the Educational Best Practices Day:

  1. Program Innovations—what’s new in how you are offering your program or working with other organizations to make your program evolve?
  2. Teaching Innovations—we know that there are new ways of teaching as well as new ways of learning. What are your experiences that you can share with other educators?
  3. Sustainability/Doing Good Efforts—this movement is here to stay. Let us know how your program has not only built in sustainability efforts as well as doing good outreach, but that they have proven results.

There will be three presenters in each of these categories. Your application to present should include: Your name, title, school/organization, contact information (phone and email) and a paragraph describing your one-hour proposed presentation.

Presenters do get $100 discount on their registration fee. The Conference is June 20-22, 2019, in Charlotte, NC. Please ensure that you will be able to be there!

Send your application no later than September 30 to Jon Deutsch at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. and Mary Petersen at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..

Help us build a fantastic event as we seek to share best practices among the community of foodservice instructors.
