Call for Discussion Topics

Feeding Champaign County Food Summit 2026

The 2026 Food Summit will be held on Thursday, March 26, 2026, at the I Hotel and Conference Center in Champaign, IL. This gathering will bring together community members, growers, nonprofit leaders, students, researchers, and professors to share knowledge and spark new ideas around addressing food insecurity in Champaign County.

 

We invite you to be part of the conversation by hosting a Breakout Session. Lead a discussion, workshop, or panel on a topic related to food insecurity. We are also accepting proposals for hosting a Poster Session.

​​​

This is a valuable opportunity to showcase your work, exchange ideas, and connect with others committed to building a more equitable food system. Proposals are due by December 5, 2025. All applicants will be notified of their acceptance status by December 12, 2025.

​

If you have any questions, reach out to the workgroup members Rachel Mannen (rmannen@illinois.edu) or Tracy Bowden (tbowden@illinois.edu).
