Embracing a sustainable future is the theme for the 2014 American Culinary Federation (ACF) events series and the third of five events in 2014 is the ACF Northeast Regional Conference taking place in Warwick April 11-14. Hosted by ACF Rhode Island Chapter, the conference will be held at The Crowne Plaza Hotel at the Crossings.

As consumers are increasing their demand for the culinary industry to use sustainable and farm-to-table practices, the 2014 ACF events series’ goal is to educate chefs and foodservice professionals on how to execute these practices within the industry in a way that is cost-effective and attainable.

ACF’s Northeast Regional Conference will feature chefs and foodservice professionals teaching attendees how to implement sustainable practices in the foodservice industry through hands-on demonstrations and seminars. Topics include how to incorporate sustainable seafood practices into foodservice programs, Scandinavian cuisine and nutrition, and how to make farm-to-table practices feasible for restaurants.

The conference is open to the public. Registration is required on-site and a day badge is $150. To view a complete schedule visit www.acfchefs.org/Northeast.
