Sunday 2/1 Culinary Industry Night Participation Details
About:
Our mission is to connect the broader culinary community with a diverse network of producers, creators and farmers – and to build up the food community of those who we are inspired by through partnerships and collaboration. Some of our past producers include: Hana Makgeolli, Burlap & Barrell, Wild Arc Farm, Dashi Okume, Glynwood Farm, NON, Sorate, & many more). You can learn about our past industry night here!
Participation Details:
To take part in the event, we ask that you provide samples of your product so attendees can experience and learn more about your work. If you represent an organization, project, or publication, you’re welcome to bring a dish that showcases what you do — for example, a collaboration with a chef you feature, a dish inspired by your culture, or a recipe from your magazine. You’re also welcome to offer your product for purchase in addition to the demo bites you provide. The confirmed guest count will be shared five days before the event — attendance typically ranges between 180 and 200 guests.
Sliding-Scale Registration Fee for Participating Producers
We offer a flexible, sliding-scale registration fee to ensure accessibility for producers of all sizes. Please choose the tier that best reflects your business’s current budget and capacity.
There is no difference in participation benefits between tiers — simply choose the level that feels right for you:
Tier 1: $90
Tier 2: $110
Tier 3: $130
Your contribution directly supports our mission to provide meaningful opportunities and resources for the food and beverage community.
If the registration fee is a barrier for you or if you are a non-profit, please reach out to carli@libinyc.com - I never want the cost to prevent anyone from showcasing their work!
