The conference will be hybrid. In-person panels, workshops, and roundtables will be live-streamed.

Please note that some activities, such as the group meals and field trips within Boston, will be in-person only.
The in-person conference will take place at 808 Commonwealth Avenue in the Food Studies Programs suite, which is just two blocks from the Amory Street Station on the MBTA Green Line.
