Food Manufacturing World Summit 2026

Food Manufacturing World Summit 2026 was held at Gaylord Texan Resort & Convention Center in Grapevine, TX.

Food manufacturing, safety, quality, and supply chain executives were the published audience. Published attendee roles included Chief Manufacturing Officers, COOs, Chief Supply Chain Officers, Chief Food Safety Officers, Chief Quality Officers, and senior leaders in manufacturing, operations, and supply chain.

Senior operations, quality, food safety and supply chain leaders at large food and beverage producers gain the most, since the speakers were listed from Conagra Brands, Mondelez International, PepsiCo, General Mills and Danone and the listed attendees were chief manufacturing, supply chain, food safety and quality officers. Plant engineers and line supervisors wanting hands-on technical training would get less, as the audience was executive and the stated focus was strategies and trends; suppliers should expect a room of senior buyers more than a general attendee crowd.

Executives at food industry summits usually wear business casual to business professional, such as slacks and a blazer or collared shirt, often without a tie. The Gaylord Texan is a large resort complex in Texas, so comfortable shoes for walking between venues are practical.

The published audience was food manufacturing, safety, quality, and supply chain executives. Listed speakers represented Nestle, FDA, Conagra Brands, Mondelez International, PepsiCo, Keurig Dr Pepper, McDonald's, General Mills, Danone, ADM, and The Magnum Ice Cream Company.
