The 2018 Edible Startup Summit was a one day training program held on October 26, 2018 at the American Family Insurance Training Center in Madison, WI to provide you with the knowledge and connections to launch your food business. Successful food entrepreneurs and business development experts talked about various aspects of building a sustainable food business. We learned about trends in the food sector; product development; business planning; food safety, licensing, and regulations; financial record keeping, financing, and pricing your product. It was an exciting day of learning and networking.
