The Chapter Leaders Workshop is designed for incoming IFTSA chapter leaders and area meeting chairs to meet other student leaders at food science clubs from around the world. Workshop participants will grow as leaders, learn about how IFTSA can help your club succeed in the year to come, and have a lot of fun.

CLOSED SESSION. The IFTSA Smart Snacks for Kids Competition challenges students to develop a fun and nutritious food or beverage product targeted at kids and/or teens. Products must abide by the USDA “Guide to Smart Snacks in Schools” recommendations. Teams are empowered to use their imagination in order to engage their chosen audience in the science and overall appeal behind a novel product of their creation. A crucial component of a winning product is the team’s ability to relay the food or beverage’s ”smart” qualities to both a technical AND a general audience. Now, leverage your ‘smarts’, channel your inner child, and develop the ULTIMATE kid-friendly product imaginable! Winners will be announced at the IFTSA Closing Ceremony.

Featuring eight regional team finalists, the College Bowl Competition will take place in multiple rounds of double elimination until a winner is crowned. Everyone is welcome to attend rounds 7-12. The final two-to-three rounds will be held during the IFTSA Closing Ceremony on Tuesday evening.

IFT18 student attendees are welcome to enjoy a relaxed atmosphere of fun and networking with your peers. Please note this event is for those 21 and older.

All student attendees are invited to celebrate the IFT Student Association Competition Finalists and Feeding Tomorrow Scholarship recipients. Students will also have the opportunity to network, view competition finalists’ projects and celebrate among the best and brightest of IFT. Enjoy this “pre-party” just prior to the IFT Student Association Closing Ceremony. Special thanks to the Feeding Tomorrow Champions and IFT Student Association Sponsors for making this celebration, and many other student opportunities, possible.

In this long-standing annual competition, each participating school team develops a new food idea and carries the concept through production and marketing, similar to a commercial product development team. Winners will be announced during the IFTSA Closing Ceremony.
