Canandaigua Chamber hosting second annual AlfrescoFLX Summit
On-line meets Farm to Table with the AlfrescoFLX Box
Virtual Event on Monday, August 10
[Canandaigua, NY, July 10, 2020]: Inspired by the success of the first AlfrescoFLX Summit in June of 2019 and the [Zero Waste] Family Dinner on October, Canandaigua Chamber of Commerce is hosting its 2020 AlfrescoFLX Summit – presented by 29 Design Studio – online.
Recent changes in consumer habits are “changing the landscape of the food system yet again”, says Ethan Fogg, President of the Canandaigua Chamber, “so we’re bringing together industry talent, leveraging technology and curating a box of local food and beverage – all to inspire a rich, memorable conversation among actors in food, beverage, agriculture and tourism in the Finger Lakes.”
Sponsored in part by Lyons National Bank, Constellation Brands, UR Thompson Health and Wegman’s, the day’s program will include panel discussions on agri-culinary ownership options, access to funding, trends in the ‘new normal’ market and how to tell the story of your product or business in new and conventional markets.
Inspired by the English Ploughman’s Lunch, the AlfrescoFLX Box includes Heron Hill Wine or juice, locally roasted coffee, local cheese and meats and a book. The Box (which makes a great gift) will give remote participants the opportunity to touch, smell and taste the Bounty of the Finger Lakes. At times during the day, Chef Samantha Buyskes and others will offer advice and guidance on how to prepare and personalize the contents of the box to suit your palate.
The program will include virtual networking opportunities, a virtual vendor hall and candid interviews with some of the day’s featured talent. Ideal for a team-building, employee recognition or a safe micro-party, buying five registrations earns one free!
The Summit is $60 per person, including the AlfrescoFLX Box. Register at www.AlfrescoFLX.com by 8/1 for home or office delivery of your AlfrescoFLX Box, anywhere in the contiguous 48 states. Boxes will be available for late registrants at the Canandaigua Chamber the week of August 3rd. Follow the event on Facebook.
