What is Food Biz Week? It is a free opportunity for food and farm businesses at all levels of food production and food retail in the Pacific Northwest to learn from industry experts and fellow experienced colleagues through a curated week of virtual panels, presentations, and networking activities. The event will be all virtual and free! So, food and farm entrepreneurs are invited to attend from anywhere in the region. When you register for Food Biz Week you are given access to Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday’s events. In addition, there is a paid event on Tuesday, February 23rd during Food Biz Week. The half-day virtual event “Farm-To-Table Trade Meeting ” invites folks working in the food and farm community to connect, create, and strengthen market partnerships and learn from each other about programs and solutions to support the needs of your business and organization in 2021. This is a paid event run by our event partners Sustainable Connections and the Seattle Good Business Network. More info about Business Impact NW events: Annual Events – Business Impact NW
