Food Executive Program

For over 55 years, Cornell’s Food Executive Program has been the world’s premier transformational learning experience for executives in the food and consumables sector as well as their immediate successors.

The five-day program is built around a broad-based curriculum that covers emerging food industry trends, personal leadership style, work-life balance, best-in-class food retailing strategies, and the economic environment. Held in July* on the beautiful Cornell University campus in Ithaca, NY, this unique program offers an unmatched opportunity for food industry leaders to develop skill sets, obtain new perspectives, advance careers, and make a difference.

Attendees interact with world-class instructors and thought leaders in an intimate learning environment. Participation in simulation and group activities fosters the building of lasting peer networks with the brightest minds in the industry.

*If it is not possible to travel to the Cornell campus due to COVID-19 restrictions, you will have the option to transfer to a future date or receive a refund for your registration.
