Once you’ve read that document, you can click on the GREEN “Register” button, register yourself and choose the breakouts you’d like to attend. Cost is $150 per person. After September 15^th, the early bird price ends and the price increases to $185. We also have some great rates already setup at several hotels in Duluth, so book your hotel through our website.

Our conference goal is to bring together people working to advance reliable access to safe, affordable, healthy food; learn from each other’s lived experiences & stories; build connections across sector, cultural perspectives, and geography; and cultivate alignment and momentum toward collaborative action.  If you have participated in the past, we look forward to reconnecting with you again this year.  If you are new to the conference, thank you for joining us and we look forward to working with you to increase healthy & equitable food access for all Minnesotans.
