Our Mission
A Leadership Forum to Continuously Improve the Business of Food Safety
Food Safety Next is a facilitated leadership community bringing together senior food safety business leaders with other foodservice business leaders that are tasked to execute food safety management across the foodservice corporate enterprise. Unlike traditional conferences built around passive attendance of presentations, Food Safety Next is designed as a relationship-driven forum where meaningful collaboration in roundtables and the conference drives real progress in food safety management and the establishment of food safety culture within a foodservice business.
Our approach is rooted in a simple belief: the future of food safety management and culture will not be shaped by any single food safety professional organization working in isolation. It will be forged through candid dialogue, shared best practices and innovation, and facilitation of the collective expertise of foodservice business leaders who are committed to raising the bar for the entire industry.
What sets Food Safety Next apart:
- Curated participation — Every attendee is a senior leader, ensuring conversations are strategic, substantive, and actionable.
- Collaboration over presentation — Roundtable discussions and peer-to-peer exchange replace one-way presentations, creating space for genuine problem-solving.
- Innovation at the forefront — We focus on emerging challenges, new technologies, and forward-thinking strategies that define what's next in enterprise food safety management and maintenance of an enterprise food safety culture.
- Guided by industry leaders — Food Safety Next is shaped by a Steering Committee of respected food safety business leaders from across the foodservice industry, ensuring our agenda reflects the real priorities of the foodservice enterprise.
Food Safety Next exists to accelerate the exchange of ideas among the people best positioned to act on them. By fostering trust-based relationships within a tight-knit community, we empower leaders to move beyond reactive compliance and toward proactive, industry-shaping solutions. The future of food safety culture, its strategic role in organizational success and public health, starts here.
