Join us in Chicago this spring for the milestone 10th Anniversary edition of our Advanced Summit on Food Law, Compliance and Regulation.
Since our last gathering, the food industry continues to navigate legal and regulatory uncertainty marked by shifting federal priorities, state-level activism, and global trade disruptions. With FDA and USDA reorganizations underway, pending rulemaking on GRAS reform, ultra-processed foods, and labeling mandates, plus heightened state activity affecting food, and new litigation risks, this year’s program will deliver critical insights to help you stay ahead.
This is your exclusive opportunity to connect with leading legal and regulatory minds in the food industry as they address the most urgent challenges of 2026 and beyond. Attend and gain invaluable insights to shape actionable strategies, benchmark with industry peers, and prepare for the upcoming wave of regulatory and legal hurdles that will impact the food sector.
Don’t miss your chance to be at the forefront of change!
