The Federal Food Symposium originally scheduled for Nov. 19-20, 2024, has been postponed and will now take place April 1-2, 2025.
In the announcement of this postponement the NCMBC team stated: “Hurricane Helene’s devastation in Western Carolina affects a third of the state – including many businesses who would benefit from the Federal Food Symposium. Additionally, businesses in central and eastern Carolina are responding to support efforts that would want to attend this event. We feel that the focus for industry needs to be on the Carolinians who were in Helene’s destructive path.”
The Federal Food Symposium, hosted by the Office of US Senator Thom Tillis, the Office of Senator Ted Budd, the North Carolina Military Business Center and the North Carolina Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, connects the Department of Defense and federal subsistence buying and R&D agencies with food producers, growers and R&D entities in the southeast.
The event will be held at Fayetteville Technical Community College’s Tony Rand Student Center, 2220 Hull Road Fayetteville, North Carolina, 28303.
