Get Ready for NYSNA’s Regional Industry Seminars!

 

NYSNA’s Regional Industry Seminars are your opportunity to connect, sample, and plan with confidence for the year ahead. Designed specifically for school nutrition professionals, these regional exhibit and food show events bring together the suppliers, processors, vendors, and partners who help support successful school meal programs across New York State.

Whether you are exploring commodity options, looking for menu inspiration, or searching for new products and solutions, Regionals offer direct access to the people and resources that can help you make informed decisions for your program. Attendees will have the chance to connect with New York’s direct diversion suppliers, processors, and NYSNA corporate members while sampling menu-ready items and learning more about the products available for next year’s menus.

Processors will provide ready-to-serve samples of the exact items listed on the survey forms, complete with the ordering codes needed to simplify selection and planning. Vendors with products that qualify for the 30% Farm-to-School program will also be highlighted, making it easier to identify options that support local purchasing goals while adding variety, quality, and student appeal to your menus.

In addition to the exhibit and food show, Regional Industry Seminars offer educational sessions designed to enhance your knowledge, support professional growth, and provide practical takeaways you can bring back to your program. Attendees will also have the opportunity to earn CEU hours while learning about timely topics relevant to school nutrition operations.

More than a food show, NYSNA’s Regional Industry Seminars are a valuable opportunity to ask questions, strengthen industry connections, discover new ideas, expand your knowledge, and gather the information you need to make the best choices for your students and your school nutrition program.

Join us at a Regional Industry Seminar near you and take advantage of this hands-on opportunity to sample, learn, explore, and plan for a successful year ahead.
