Wall Street Journal Global Food Forum

WSJ Global Food Forum gathers together an influential audience of senior executives, producers and experts from across the food industry and agricultural economy, including stakeholders from the worlds of finance, law, government, academia and advocacy.

This yearly event was back in person for the first time since 2019 and executed with a hybrid framework. The in-person component was hosted in Chicago and the entire program was streamed live online to a custom event platform. The two day event kicked off with a welcome dinner and programming, followed by a second day of programming, networking meals and small group sessions. A resounding success, the event surpassed all internal registration, attendance, sponsorship and news goals.

Ensuring a high production value was key to the event, as all sessions are now available to watch on WSJ.com. Content from the program has been embedded into relevant news stories and has made headlines, as seen here. You can read more here + here.
