At the school nutrition event of the year, there is so much to see and do. Along with visiting the largest exhibition floor in the school nutrition industry, convention-goers attended a plethora of education sessions that cover a range of topics affecting the profession.  Some of the sessions at this year’s conference included:

• Every Child, Every Day:  Rethinking School Breakfast – Session participants learned how to create a school breakfast program that reaches 80-99% students a day.
• Taking the “School” out of School Nutrition – School nutrition professionals that attended this session gained insight on creating catchy marketing plans that appeal to all students.
• The Bottom Line on Charge Policies – How do you keep your school nutrition programs financially solvent, while ensuring that all students receive a school meal?  This session looked at solutions to this problem and how to handle the media.
• I Think I’m Allergic to NUTS: Learning to Work Productively With the People Who Drive You Crazy – A crowd favorite, attendees at this session got fun and practical advice on handling troublesome relationships.
