The AZ Good Food Forum + Expo, presented by Local First Arizona, is coming up on Tuesday, August 27 from 9 a.m. – 4 p.m. at the El Conquistador Hilton Resort.
This year’s event is themed “Building Arizona’s Resilient Food Future,” and it’s a convergence of minds and expertise dedicated to strengthening Arizona’s local food system.
The Forum will offer a lively discussion among Arizona food thought leaders across a dozen panels, such as desert-adapted diets, practical advice for growers, and a dedicated forum track highlighting the invaluable wisdom and practices of Indigenous communities in Arizona.
The Expo will showcase the latest local food products, facilitating connections between local chefs, retailers, and emerging food entrepreneurs. This is an excellent opportunity to explore Arizona’s culinary delights and connect with the driving forces behind our local food economy.
