Webinar: Opportunities in Culinary Sustainability
1-2 p.m. ET
Join IAAPA’s Food and Beverage Committee Chair, Bernie Campbell in a webinar all about sustainability in the Food and Beverage segment. It can be challenging to feed the guests who visit cultural attractions, both during the day and for special catered events – these challenges are even more pronounced when the culinary teams are looking to offer dishes that highlight sustainability and minimize impacts. Take a look behind the curtain with sustainability leaders from SSA to explore how they approach everything from local sourcing of ingredients, to recycling, composting, edible food recovery…and maybe even a small peek into the retail/ gift shop space!
A question and answer session will follow the webinar. Attendees are eligible to earn one continuing education unit (1 CEU) towards IAAPA recertification. For more information about IAAPA Certifications, please contact Alissa DeMeglio.
