01 / The Day

What the Summit covers

The Summit is not a trade show. It is a working day for people serious about culinary cannabis as a discipline: workshop driven, credentialing focused, and built around the questions chefs and operators actually face when they bring infused programming to guests.

Track A
Credentialing

The ACF Culinary Cannabis and Edibles certification: what it covers, why it matters to operators, and how to put the credential to work. Summit registration includes enrollment in the course.

Track B
Technique

Extraction methods, terpene pairing, accurate dosing at menu scale, and the safety procedures that separate professional programs from guesswork.

Track C
The Business

Brand development, sponsorships, pricing, pop up economics, and the financial realities of building a career in infused hospitality, taught from a decade of doing it.

Put your brand in the room

The Summit gathers the exact audience most brands in this space struggle to reach in one place: working chefs pursuing the industry's only ACF credential, and the hospitality operators who hire them. Behind the room is a brand with a decade of fieldwork, 1,200 dinners, more than 30,000 guests served, and 100+ brand collaborations.
