Keynote Topic: “Leading a Culture of Food Safety Excellence has no Expiration Date”
In an era of real-time data, digital traceability, and powerful analytics, the food industry has never had more tools to prevent outbreaks and protect public health. And yet - across the globe - crises still unfold the same way: early warnings are overlooked, critical signals go unheard, and action comes only after the damage is done.
In this unflinching and unforgettable keynote, Dr. Darin Detwiler challenges attendees to confront a pressing question:
Will leaders continue to react only to what’s convenient…or finally act on what’s true and urgent?
Drawing on decades of work at the intersection of policy, public health, and innovation, Dr. Detwiler makes a bold argument: Tools can inform, but only leadership can transform.
This keynote will expose the blind spots that persist across the food system, reveal the systemic failures behind preventable tragedies, and deliver a compelling vision for a future built not just on compliance, but on conscience.
A culture of food safety excellence does not begin with algorithms. It begins with leaders who choose to act before the headlines…who see the invisible, hear the unheard, and lead with the conviction that every signal matters.
