New York Conference to Offer Diverse Perspectives on the Culture of Olive Oil

The third edi­tion of the NYIOOC Conference will take a look at the cul­tural con­text of olive oil in today’s world by pre­sent­ing the points of view of a decid­edly dis­parate panel of speak­ers.

Organizers of the annual olive oil sum­mit, to be held April 15 at the International Culinary Center in New York, said the inno­v­a­tive pro­gram is designed to fos­ter a deeper under­stand­ing of olive oil’s place in today’s chang­ing world, before dar­ing to pre­dict where it will be in the years to come.

The con­fer­ence is part of the New York International Olive Oil Competition, the world’s largest and most pres­ti­gious olive oil qual­ity con­test.

In con­trast to the first two edi­tions of the con­fer­ence, which dealt with the nuts and bolts of the global olive oil busi­ness and brand build­ing, this meet­ing will pro­pose ​“a step back from the for­est,” said Curtis Cord, NYIOOC pres­i­dent and founder of the event. ​“Let’s look at how this ancient prod­uct flows through our mod­ern cul­tures and ven­ture a fore­cast to guide deci­sions affect­ing its future.”

Sharing their per­spec­tives on olive oil’s cul­tural con­text will be a dis­tin­guished group of speak­ers encom­pass­ing the worlds of busi­ness, nutri­tion, fash­ion, media, food stud­ies, olive oil pro­duc­tion and culi­nary arts.

Conference atten­dees will also have the oppor­tu­nity to enjoy olive oils from 25 coun­tries dur­ing an exclu­sive tast­ing event, fol­lowed by the press con­fer­ence where the win­ners of the New York International Olive Oil Competition — the world’s best olive oils for 2015 — will be unveiled.

An awards recep­tion will then honor the com­pe­ti­tion win­ners.

The lim­ited num­ber of tick­ets to the event are expected to sell out quickly. For more infor­ma­tion, visit the nyiooc.org web­site.
