An upcoming series of talks and films organized by Slow Food CNY is seeking nominees for local speakers to share their story, idea or perspective about the food system.

The talks are scheduled for October, November and December at Red House Arts Center, and will feature people already working to promote CNY food.

Dynamic, engaging speakers are sought: farmers, chefs, advocates and entrepreneurs would make great candidates.

A jury established by Slow Food CNY will sift through nominees and choose the final speaker line-up.

The deadline to nominate speakers is Sept. 8; nominate online here.

A limited number of sponsorship opportunities are also available; contact Emily at [email protected] for more information.
