2026 Conference Menu
Thank you to our Leading Sponsors
Compost/leftover food – Some people get concerned when they see leftover food at the Conference. The Augusta Civic Center partners with the Augusta Food Bank and the Bread of Life Soup kitchen, and any items left over after our event will be donated to either party. They have also recently begun a composting/cardboard recycling program and any food not donatable gets composted.
Packaging – All plastic packaging is greenware brand, which is biodegradable and the box lunch boxes are compostable/biodegradable.
