Terroir Symposium returning to Calgary again this year

For the second year in a row, the Terroir Symposium is coming to Calgary.

This is a massive hospitality event where industry professionals can connect, share ideas, create opportunities, and make some seriously delicious food.

It’s one of the largest food events in Canada. Tickets are on sale right now, and the early bird tickets are “going fast.”

Running from September 30 to October 2 at SAIT in Calgary, with activities in the butchery room, bakery, chocolate lab, Highwood Dining Room, demo kitchen, Hospitality Hall, and the theatre providing hands-on demos and workshops.

The third and last day will be held in the Arts Commons at the Jack Singer Concert Hall.

Throughout the three days, there will also be guest chef speakers partnering with local restaurants and chefs for the Signature Dinner Series.

Last year focused on Indigenous content, while this year the theme will be “transformation.”

“Terroir Symposium is about people and building community with the goal of providing a space to share ideas and resources to support businesses and careers,” said Arlene Stein, founder of Terroir, in a media release.

“Collaborating with like-minded individuals and organizations helps to support the hospitality industry.”
