SNA’s Annual National Conference (ANC)
Join us in Charlotte for SNA’s Annual National Conference (ANC). ANC is the largest and most vibrant gathering of K-12 school nutrition professionals in the country. Each July, thousands of school nutrition operators, directors, managers, state agency staff, and industry partners come together for four energizing days of learning, networking, and discovery.
ANC is where school nutrition comes to life. From cutting-edge education sessions and expert-led keynotes to the nation’s largest exhibit floor dedicated to K-12 foodservice, ANC delivers the tools, ideas, and inspiration needed to elevate school meal programs and support student success.
With a focus on both professional and personal growth, ANC is your moment to connect with peers, explore solutions, and celebrate the power of school meals in shaping healthy futures.
