That's a Wrap for 2024!
Thank you for joining us in "Charm City" — an epicenter of history, art, and American heritage — for three days of innovation, inspiration, and action at our annual in-person gathering.
The 2024 ReFED Food Waste Solutions Summit took place in Baltimore June 11-13, and it proved to be our most important convening of this scale to date. Whether it was through mainstage presentations, smaller topical sessions, or one-on-one conversations during a networking break, one thing became clear before the Summit even concluded: Progress is happening, and collaboration is accelerating it. And as ReFED’s Dana Gunders said during her welcoming remarks, it is the work of the attendees in the audience that demonstrates where “the rubber is meeting the road.”
