2025 ReFED Food Waste Solutions Summit

June 23-25, 2025 |  Seattle, WA
Hyatt Regency Seattle

Join Us in... Seattle!

Home to the iconic Space Needle, bustling Pike Place Market, and a stunning waterfront seafood paradise, ReFED is excited to host the 2025 Food Waste Solutions Summit June 23-25 in Seattle, WA.

After our biggest event yet this year in Baltimore, we're heading across the country to the Pacific Northwest for 2025. Seattle—with its commitment to sustainability, vibrant urban agriculture tradition, and a rich ecosystem of native foods—is the perfect backdrop for our growing gathering of thought leaders and innovators who are driving change across the food system.

So mark your calendars right now to ensure your spot at the premier food waste event of the year. And join us next summer in the “Emerald City” for three days of insights, inspiration, and action—don't miss it!

Stay tuned for registration details and other updates via our mailing list.
