The Food Lab at Stony Brook Southampton presents the first annual Edible Business conference. This gathering at the historic and picturesque Southampton campus in the heart of the East End will bring together today?s leading thinkers in food business, media and policy to discuss the path towards healthy regional food systems. This event is ideal for people working at all links in the food chain, from farmers to foodtech startups, from investors to concerned eaters, from food policy makers to agribusiness executives.

The event kicks off with a tasting event on Friday night, featuring food and drink makers assembled by Edible East End magazine. Saturday will include a full day of dynamic discussions on food business, meat and seafood, and the alcohol industry, paired with informative and unusual tastings. Saturday night attendees will enjoy a meal prepared by East End chefs at the Food Lab?s kitchen incubator. Sunday features a morning networking session as well as a pitch and investor feedback program.
