and Beverage Environmental Conference
Nurturing the Future
March 26-29, 2023
Hyatt Regency Incline Village
Lake Tahoe, NV
Ideas & Networking
The goal of the conference is to get industry, academia, non-government organizations and suppliers together in a casual atmosphere that allows for the free flow of information, ideas and networking. Appealing features of the conference includes a single program of sessions, joining in meals together, poster sessions, social hours, networking and information exchange.
Engaging Education
The conference encourages frank and engaging discussions about environmental challenges specific to the food and beverage industry. Real experiences, best practices, and lessons learned are shared to drive improvement across the industry. The conference provides education through technical content and provides Professional Development Hour (PDH) credits for its sessions.
No Ties or Sales Pitches
Processors value the conference as a setting for genuine engagement given that presentations are not published and attended by their industry colleagues only. This conference is not a trade show, does not promote sales pitches, and there are no published proceedings of the conference. Use of social media is encouraged with no videos and limited use of photos. All in a casual no-neckties environment.
Presentation Information
Speakers are encouraged to use electronic format for their presentation. Computer projection equipment will be available including both a computer and a projector so you need only bring a memory/USB stick with your slide presentation unless you require a presentation program other than PowerPoint. For more information, read and follow the our additional speaker guidelines available at the button below.

I come to FBEC every year knowing it will include a variety of focused environmental topics relating to the food and beverage industry. There is no better conference for sharing best practices, hearing about environmental horror stories, and networking with industry peers and other experienced environmental leaders.

As an environmental attorney representing food and beverage clients, I was thrilled when one of those clients invited me to attend FBEC almost 20 years ago. I have attended every year since then. The conference has enriched my knowledge, legal practice, and relationships. There are in-depth presentations by people in the industry who know its cutting-edge environmental issues best. You will be able to draw upon the collective wisdom of many of the attendees and speakers; they are a friendly, collegial group and willing to share their expertise.

I came to the Food and Beverage Environmental Conference as a novice to environmental compliance. I realized I was out of my depth as words, phrases, and abbreviations were tossed about…I was convinced someone would discover that I didn’t belong and show me the door. Instead, I met people who were excited to engage, explain, and encourage me to grow. Beyond the network of contacts I have built, the information has been astounding. Every year, I take away things that I can immediately implement with the team…and even more that challenges me to dig deeper, taking new-to-me concepts and learning what next steps to take.
