International Symposium on Bread, On the Rise, to be held April 26-28 in Charlotte, NC
Johnson & Wales University will host the second annual International Symposium on Bread, On The Rise. The Symposium will again be presented by Puratos and feature several enhancements from last year. “We are pleased to announce that our Keynote Speaker will be Nathan Myhrvold, the award-winning author and publisher of Modernist Cuisine and now, Modernist Bread,” explains Peter Reinhart, the symposium founder, JWU Faculty member, noted author, and baker. “I envisioned this symposium becoming a platform on which we could gather the world’s leading bakers and thought leaders. There are so many issues and opportunities that we all have in common - from the smallest, artisan bakery to the leading global companies. We can learn so much from each other.”
Last year’s sold-out Symposium served as an introduction to many timely and relevant topics. The speakers represented a who’s who from the world of bread making. This year, JWU requested a call for presentations, and Reinhart says, “We received a mountain of impressive programming ideas. We were able to select from the best the industry has to offer!”
