Good Food Connections 2026 + Food Action Plan Summit

On March 9, 2026, Good Business Network of Washington and the City of Seattle present Good Food Connections 2026 + Food Action Plan Summit, a farm-and-sea-to-table trade conference uniting farmers, fishers, artisans, chefs, buyers, and community food stakeholders around a common table.

Make market connections and strengthen our regional food system through conversation, education, networking, and good food. This year’s summit features a deep dive into implementation of the City of Seattle’s Food Action Plan with a focus on Buying with Purpose, an initiative to align food purchasing with goals for equity, environmental sustainability, economic opportunity, and fair labor. We will also explore complementary regional initiatives. You can look forward to a day of lively presentations and panel discussions, workshops, facilitated matchmaking between buyers and producers, a trade show and tasting expo, and a catered lunch featuring ingredients from our region’s producers.

Visit goodfoodconnections.org for more information about the agenda as it's available.

Register by December 31, 2025 to save with early bird pricing.
