Breakout Sessions are ready for you to explore

We’re thrilled to present 15 unique breakout sessions (and a farm tour!) that Gathering attendees can choose to attend throughout the day, covering the topics of Food & Justice, Food & Climate Change, and Food & Resilience.

Throughout the day, attendees will move through the three topics of Food & Justice, Food & Climate Change, and Food & Resilience together. Within each, attendees may select one session that addresses a topic relevant to their work or interests. Sessions are designed for sharing stories, learning about current strategies and areas of need in our region, brainstorming in groups, and building common understanding.

We are asking that attendees pre-select their breakout sessions when they register for the Gathering, in order to manage the size of each group.

Our team is confirming speakers and facilitators for each session. We’ll be adding their names to the agenda soon!

 

About the Inaugural Gathering

The Inaugural Gathering is an all-day, outdoor event featuring inspirational speakers, large and small group sessions, open space for dialogue and networking, and local food—all in the beautiful setting of Leichtag Commons.

The current moment calls for deep connection and shared learning. Through the Gathering, our community will come together to share ideas for how we can implement San Diego County Food Vision 2030, invest in our local food economy, preserve agricultural land and soils, elevate wages and working conditions for food and farm workers, increase ownership by Black, Indigenous, and People of Color, promote food sovereignty, and more.
