MegaCon Attendance Update

Published: 5 days ago

We regret to inform you that the tailored content we normally provide for these programs will not be available at MegaCon 2025.

• TEFAP

• CSFP

• S/FMNP

Due to space limitations at this year's venue, we are unable to offer the robust agenda and valuable content we have been able to share with Food Distribution Programs (FDP) in previous years.

We greatly value the contributions of everyone in the organization and appreciate your understanding regarding this decision. Rest assured, we are collaborating with other associations to explore content and participation opportunities at upcoming conferences to ensure these teams are given relevant content for their programs.
