Join Us for RCA+

RCA+ will be a fully virtual experience, taking place March 23-26, 2021. This experience will be in place of our traditional in-person gathering, however, it is much more than the typical conference or any of RCA’s virtual events you’ve attended before.

In this continually changing environment, it’s more important than ever for RCA’s community to come together to learn, grow and get ahead of what’s coming next. RCA+ will highlight innovation and pay tribute to our 25^th anniversary – celebrating our history and what we’ve accomplished – while also looking ahead and sharing excitement for the future!

More breakout sessions from top industry innovators – live and recorded – than in any previous in-person conference.

A virtual Culinology^® Expo that has tons of engaging features to highlight our great partners and for you to be inspired by all of the new products.

A revamped, innovative Food Evolution Competition, sponsored by Griffith Foods.
