Eating at a Meeting

Eating at a Meeting explores a variety of topics on food and beverage (F&B) and how they impact individual experience and inclusion, sustainability, culture, community, health and wellness, laws and more. The mission of Eating at a Meeting is to share authentic stories that illustrate the financial, social, emotional, and mental impact food and beverage have on individuals, organizations, and the earth. I see it being threefold: ● Help individuals and organizations understand how F&B impacts employee, customer and guest experience, the planet and the bottom line. ● Help those growing, producing, preparing, and serving F&B understand the duty of care they hold in food safety and inclusion as well as the opportunity they have to create experiences that are safe and inclusive. ● Support those with dietary needs by gathering their insight on eating at a meeting with dietary needs, helping them better advocate for themselves and educating them on the processes found on the other side of the kitchen door.

    Behind the Plate: Why Ingredient Stories Matter for Event Menus

    On this week’s Eating at a Meeting Live, I’m sit down with Ali Cox, the Founder & CEO of Noble West, an award-winning marketing consultancy specializing in the entire agricultural ecosystem to explore how event professionals on both sides of the table — planners and food service teams — can bridge the gap between farm and table.   As a fifth-generation farmer, Ali combines her deep-rooted understanding of farming with cutting-edge marketing strategies to help brands tell the story behind their ingredients.  Ali will share her insights on the importance of regenerative agriculture, how to reduce food loss and waste, and why telling the story of where our food comes from matters now more than ever. With a focus on transparency and sustainability, Ali will discuss how event professionals can bring a new level of intentionality to food and beverage, offering guests more meaningful and impactful dining experiences. Whether you're working behind the scenes in food service or planning the menus, this conversation will reshape how we think about F&B at events. Let’s connect farms to tables, one meaningful meal at a time. 🌍 You’ll walk away with fresh ideas and a new perspective on creating intentional, impactful F&B experiences.

    Why Values Matter in Food & Beverage: A Revolutionary Approach

    In this episode, I sit down with David Allison, founder of the Value Graphics Project and author, to delve into a revolutionary approach to food and beverage at events. David's extensive research, using a global dataset from one million surveys, debunks traditional demographics, highlighting shared human values instead. ✨ We discuss how understanding attendees' values like health, well-being, and social standing can transform event planning. For instance, at high-status events, prioritizing luxuries like aged champagne aligns perfectly with social standing values. 🍾 Furthermore, David’s innovative "valuegraphics" method replaces outdated demographics, using AI and social media to uncover attendees' core motivations. From his personal stories, like baking bread for others, to my childhood dream of being a crossing guard, we explore how our values shape our lives and decisions. 🚸 We also emphasize the challenge of diverse dietary needs at events and propose solutions, like personalized minibar stockings, that enhance attendee experiences. Discover David’s insights on creating meaningful, value-driven events, his collaboration with Google Xi on a "belonging playbook," and the humorous anecdotes like organizing an introvert’s parade. 🎉 Tune in for a thought-provoking conversation on aligning event strategies with core human values to foster genuine connections and inclusive environments.
