This course will be held October 7-9, 2025.

For years, stakeholders have recognized the power of data to advance food safety and provide actionable insights that prevent illnesses and promote health and well-being. Effectively leveraging these data begins with changing the mindset and practices around how data is collected, analyzed and used to inform decision-making – in other words, creating a positive data culture. A positive data culture empowers stakeholders to move beyond compliance and into predictive, preventative action, enabling earlier detection of risk factors and faster response times that can significantly reduce the likelihood and impact foodborne illness.

This is an in-person event and space is limited. Registration is free with purchase of $25.00 lunch ticket.

This event will be held at Hansen's Dairy in Hudson, Iowa.
