Eating at a MeetingAuthor: Tracy Stuckrath, CFPM, CMM, CSEP, CHC
Eating at a Meeting explores a variety of topics on food and beverage (F&B) and how they impact individual experience and inclusion, sustainability, culture, community, health and wellness, laws and more. The mission of Eating at a Meeting is to share authentic stories that illustrate the financial, social, emotional, and mental impact food and beverage have on individuals, organizations, and the earth. I see it being threefold: Help individuals and organizations understand how F&B impacts employee, customer and guest experience, the planet and the bottom line. Help those growing, producing, preparing, and serving F&B understand the duty of care they hold in food safety and inclusion as well as the opportunity they have to create experiences that are safe and inclusive. Support those with dietary needs by gathering their insight on eating at a meeting with dietary needs, helping them better advocate for themselves and educating them on the processes found on the other side of the kitchen door.

In honor of Food Safety Awareness Month, Tracy is thrilled to welcome Doug Davis, founder of Sokeum Consultants and former Global Director of Food Safety for Marriott International, to Eating at a Meeting. With nearly 40 years of experience and stewardship over food safety protocols for 33 brands across 139 countries, Doug brings a wealth of knowledge to the table. Doug and Tracy dig into how food recalls unfold behind the scenes, the evolving landscape of foodborne outbreaks, and what event planners must ask to ensure safety and trust at every meal. We tackle the complexities of allergen management, the art of guest communication, and why compliance should never be about checking boxes. Doug's global perspective, stories from the field, and lessons learned on prevention, transparency, and raising standards are invaluable for anyone planning safe and memorable events
