What could you learn from a chef whose kitchen runs differently from yours?

For John Calia, kitchen manager at Rhode Island School of Design, connecting with culinary professionals from across the country is one of the most valuable parts of NACUFS Inspire. Each brings skills, techniques and perspectives that can spark a new approach to familiar challenges.

Experience that exchange for yourself at Inspire: A Culinary Conference. Join fellow chefs for hands-on learning and conversations that can inspire what comes next in your kitchen.
