The FoodWorx Conference, which had its inaugural event last year, was similar to a TED Talks as there were 8 speakers throughout the day who had 20 minutes to share their ideas and get people inspired. The topic: food. Specific subjects included food and economics, food and policy and food and health, with speakers like Kurt Huffman of ChefStable Group and Lisa Schroeder of Mother’s Bistro.
