Event Details

This year’s School Nutrition Industry Conference (SNIC) will be offered virtually Tuesday through Thursday, January 12-14, 2021 to ensure everyone’s safety. We are pleased to be able to bring you the same exceptional content and opportunities to connect at SNIC 2021 as we would for an in-person event.

As participants of SNIC have come to expect, the virtual conference will continue to offer innovative ideas and sharing among school nutrition operators and industry partners. #SNIC21 will take place over three afternoons starting at 1:00 p.m. EST daily, with short scheduled breaks. View the agenda

While we will not be offering Innovative Solution Sessions or a Tabletop Showcase, we have built in several other networking events. Additional information on the virtual format can be found in the FAQs.

  • Cutting-edge Leadership and Innovation Speakers: Lee Rubin and Sara Frasca
