Food safety is entering a new era—shaped by evolving regulations, customer expectations and the drive for greater visibility.

**The challenge now is balancing short-term relief with long-term resilience.** That means addressing regulatory shifts, meeting sustainability goals and strengthening crisis preparedness. For food and beverage leaders facing growing pressure, the real question is: **how do you prepare your people, processes and systems to thrive** in this changing environment?

To answer this, we’rebringing together **former FDA Deputy Commissioner Frank Yiannas** and **industry veteran & author Jack Payne** for a rare conversation that blends regulatory insight with decades of industry experience. They’ll reflect on the industry’s evolution from handwritten records to today’s digital-first expectations. This conversation will go beyond regulatory deadlines to explore **how culture and technology must align to drive compliance, why sustainability and safety are inseparable and what true crisis readiness requires.** Finally, Frank and Jack will highlight the bold shifts on the horizon—and how companies can prepare now to stay resilient and competitive.

What you'll learn: 

- How **food safety practices have evolved** from the past to today.
- Why the 2028 **FSMA 204 deadline is only one part** of the bigger picture.
- How **culture and technology together** drive compliance and adoption.
- Why **sustainability and food safety** goals are inseparable.
- What **bold shifts will define the future** of food safety and traceability.

Who should watch: 

- Forward-thinking executives
- Operations and quality leaders
- Supply chain and compliance professionals
- Technology and IT decision-makers
