2025 AAFP Annual Conference

We had almost 200 registrations at September’s 17th AAFP Annual Conference Conference in 2025!  We want to thank our wonderful sponsors, speakers, and attendees who make the conference possible!  Now it is time for 2026. The 18th Annual AAFP Conference will be held in the fall of 2026 at the Fayetteville Town Center on the beautiful Square in Fayetteville (exact date still to be determined).  Our State’s food safety influence reaches far beyond Arkansas and the region with products and decisions made by global entities headquartered in our State. With this conference and other workshops, we make an effort to keep our food safety professionals informed of their impact at home and beyond Arkansas.  We may have some surprises for next year, so please put us on your calendar and conference list.  Please expect more updates soon. 

We look forward to seeing you at the next conference or one of our other events.  Once again, we want to thank our gracious sponsors below that help make this conference a success!

We appreciate your support, 

The Marketing and Advertising Committee

Barbara Smith (chair), Jerri Lynn Pickett, Paula Schwarz, Karen Beers and Brian Umberson
