For eight consecutive years, Babson Food Day has created experiences for engaged eaters and entrepreneurs to help each other learn, grow and take action around food. This year, the event will take place from 3 to 7 p.m., October 17, at Babson College. As always, it’s free to attend, no registration is required and is open to all.

Eaters today truly touch every aspect of the food industry, and without question are fueling its future. What and how we currently eat is destroying the Earth, but opportunities abound to make a brighter future through our forks.

Signage on campus will direct attendees to the correct sites for the correct programs. However, allow extra time for way-finding. It’s also first-come-first-serve for seating and access to the speakers, so plan ahead.

Cost: Free. Location: Babson College, 231 Forest St., Wellesley. For updates and more details, visit Babson.edu/FoodDay.
