Supporting Food Leaders in 2026
The Future Food Movement Membership Calendar at a Glance
More in-person connection. More shared learning. More momentum - together.
In 2026, leadership in food demands more than just staying informed. It requires clarity, connection and community - because doing the hard work alone won’t fix a collective challenge.
Real conversations, real collaboration and real support from peers who understand the pressure.
We’ve designed the 2026 Future Food Movement Membership Calendar to create more space for live, in-person experiences, deeper peer relationships and honest, practical insight - all with one goal: to help you lead with confidence through the challenges ahead.
This is where good people come together to do difficult things well.
Why this matters
The pace of change isn’t slowing - climate, health, trust, affordability and policy are converging fast. It’s no longer just a technical challenge. It’s a leadership challenge.
