As everyone who works in culinary education, the last few years have been exceptionally challenging for a variety of reasons. No matter if you call it the perfect storm, natural evolutionary change, or the end of the culinary world as we know it, there is no doubt the change is happening and happening fast. But where does it go from here? What should we be watching for? How can we be ready to adapt? And most importantly, how can we prepare our students for their future in culinary.

Join two veteran educators, Paul Sorgule and Christopher Koetke as they consider these questions. Together, they represent well over 40 years of culinary education experience and leadership. This will be an organic conversation rather than a prescriptive how-to powerpoint. It is designed to provide insights and inspiration so that we can all face the future with different perspectives and adaptability

Click here to sign up for the noon Eastern Standard Time webinar on Friday, April 2nd.

No hour-long event; 20 minutes and you are done before your coffee gets cold!
