The annual Eastern Arc Conference, taking place on 20 September, will focus on 'Orchestrating Change: Food in a time of crisis. It will be a chance to debate issues around food, diet and nutrition, and to look at potential solutions to some of the major challenges facing us today.

We are seeking people to take part in or lead one of the eight conference sessions. We very much want to hear a diversity of voices and viewpoints, whether they be asking questions or offering solutions, sharing research or encouraging engagement. We want to hear from researchers and stakeholders, academics and businesses, community groups and charities. 

If you have an idea for a session, please complete the brief details below by Monday 17 July. We hope to select the eight sessions shortly after, and open up registration at the beginning of August. The conference itself will take place in the Sibson Building at the University of Kent in Canterbury. It will be free and open to all, and registration will open in August.
