Thanks to everyone who joined us for the premier food waste event of the year!
We were so excited to host a sold-out crowd of nearly 800 thought leaders, decision-makers, advocates and more this past June in Seattle at the 2025 ReFED Food Waste Solutions Summit.
It was three days of insights, inspiration, and action, featuring mainstage and breakout sessions, networking events, happy hours, film screenings, trivia contests, creative activations, and so much more. And beyond all of the official activities, the halls of the Hyatt Regency Seattle were filled with informal discussions, introductions and reunions, and idea generation.
As always, the Summit was all about solutions—our goal was to make sure that everyone went home with actionable takeaways that can drive progress in their work.

Collaboration, Creativity, and Change
“Other sustainability issues might be slowing down, but food waste is not. Reducing food waste is something we can make progress on now,” emphasized ReFED President Dana Gunders during the first Mainstage session of the 2025 Summit. And progress was what was on people's minds throughout the event—the largest gathering of the ReFED community to date.
