A message from the founders of Fork to Future.
PIZZA INDUSTRY EMPOWERS Conference 2.0
P.I.E. is all about community, empowerment, and continuous learning—together. This annual, multi-day event is geared towards uniting, educating, and uplifting underrepresented people in the pizza and restaurant industries. This September, we’re once again gathering a diverse team of experts to help this group grow their businesses, continue learning, feel confident about what they are doing day-to-day, and advance their future in the hospitality industry.
P.I.E. Conference 2.0Let’s learn about dairy!
This year’s event will take place in Berkeley, California from September 20th through the 23rd. We will focus on the amazing dairy industry in the U.S., covering topics such as cheese making, cheese pairing, non-dairy alternatives, etc. through demos and hands-on workshops, along with important sessions on business acumen, running a restaurant, PNL review and more.
Space is extremely limited!
We only have 25 spots available for this incredible scholarship program. Participants will only need to cover transportation to and from Berkeley, California and we’ll take care of the rest—hotel, transportation in California to our planned events, meals, and education are on us, thanks to our phenomenal partners and sponsors. Applications are open until Friday, May 1st and are only available to new participants
