What our attendees said

I’ve really enjoyed the conference and being reminded of all the diverse actors along the supply chain. Thinking about and understanding how to connect those stories is one thing I want to take away from the event—how to bring those farmer stories back to my office in New York and back to our customer, so they understand how all of our work is connected and how sustainability is not just about working on environmental issues, but how it impacts people’s lives around the world.

Wonderfully organized! I appreciated the diversity of perspectives represented and the openness to challenging/frontier-pushing ideas and conversations.

Speakers were experienced and experts in their area, and thought about the audience although there may have been an assumption that the room was filled with retailers and brands

It is a great conference just because it brings the whole supply chain together and everybody has something to learn from each other.

To share with you my takeaways from the conference, I’m really delighted to see in many of the sessions, a lot of talk about innovation—the focus is on doing things differently in order to get different results, and not get stuck in the old way of doing things.

All the session designs were interesting, I learned so much on all four themes. Farmer participation was very good.
