If you’re a foodie trying to understand more about the intersection of business and media, 225 Dine reports the team at advertising agency ThreeSixtyEight is here to help. As part of its Assembly Required conference series, this week’s Innovators in Food event brings together some of the biggest names in food and entrepreneurship to talk resources and ideas.
225 Dine spoke with strategist Hailey Johnson at ThreeSixtyEight about the Innovators in Food and the Assembly Required series. The conference begins at 5 p.m. Friday at the Louisiana Culinary Institute.
“We saw a gap when it came to the food industry in Louisiana’s conference scene, ironic for a state so rich in the food culture,” Johnson tells 225 Dine. “That’s where the idea came in to curate a conference about innovation in food in a state that is known for its one-of-a-kind dishes.
The conference series brings events every three months or so, and coming up later this year and early next year are Masters of the Story and Creatives in Tech.
