Speakers for the conference:

Dayle Hayes

Dayle Hayes is an award-winning author and educator. Her creativity and common-sense have made her a sought-after speaker across the USA. She will help apply the powerful strategies of Made To Stick to marketing and social media messaging in school nutrition settings. Being “sticky” not only makes your school nutrition messaging memorable; it motivates your community to become your customers Make it one message that sticks!

Dr. Katie Wilson, PhD

Dr. Wilson has a passion for child nutrition and has dedicated her career to improving access to healthy food for all children and their families. Her keynote- It’s Your Story: So Tell It Already! will provide ideas on giving your message a clear take away for your listeners.

Your role in providing healthy food to children is a story that needs to be told to local, state, and national audiences. If you tell your story right you can resonate with your audience over the long run, rather than gamble on a short-term hard sell of whatever you are trying to move.
