The Flagship Gathering
The Food Safety Next Exchange
The Food Safety Next Exchange is the flagship annual gathering of senior food safety and business leaders across the foodservice industry. More than a conference, it is a leadership exchange — a carefully designed forum where the people shaping the future of food safety come together to share insights, challenge assumptions, and forge the relationships that drive lasting progress.
Every element of the Exchange is built around meaningful interaction. Rather than rows of passive listeners watching slide presentations, attendees engage in facilitated roundtable discussions, peer-to-peer knowledge sharing, and strategic networking sessions that create real value long after the event concludes.
What to expect at the Exchange:
- Curated leadership panels — Hear from respected voices across the foodservice industry as they share frontline perspectives on emerging food safety challenges and the strategies shaping tomorrow's standards.
- Interactive roundtable sessions — Small-group, topic-driven discussions where senior leaders collaborate on real-world problems, exchange proven best practices, and develop actionable takeaways.
- Strategic networking — Structured and informal opportunities to build trust-based relationships with peers who share your commitment to advancing food safety culture and operational excellence.
- Innovation showcases — Discover new technologies, tools, and forward-thinking approaches that are redefining food safety management across the industry.
The Exchange is not a trade show or an open-registration conference. Participation is curated to ensure every person in the room is a senior leader with the authority and expertise to turn ideas into action. This intentional approach fosters candid dialogue, deeper collaboration, and outcomes that meaningfully advance the industry.
Whether you are navigating regulatory complexity, building a food safety culture across a multi-unit operation, or exploring the next generation of management systems, the Food Safety Next Exchange is where the conversation starts — and where the future of food safety takes shape.
