ZAMPOLLO
TALKS
I give in-person and online talks for academic conferences and the food industry
If you want me to speak at your event get in touch.
Public speaking is my joy, so I'll be happy to help.
Current topics:
-
"What you didn't know about Food Design". Showcasing the wonders of innovation at the intersection of food, creativity, and sustainability, while demonstrating how Food Design is far more, and far more impactful than styling and packaging.
-
"Why are you here?" An inspirational talk on human potential, purposeful innovation, and real impact that leaves the audience inspired to bring actionable changes to their work and life.
-
"What can Food Design Thinking do?" Introduction to Food Design Thinking, its unique features and principles, and what it can do for you.
-
"Spiritual Sustainability". The Sustainability triangle becomes a pyramid with the addition of spiritual sustainability, the need for projects (whatever we design) to be spiritually sustainable for people as well as designers. Read more here.
-
"Food System Design". A talk on the 5 path towards Food System Design.
TALK SERIES:
I also organise talks series with a curated selection of international food designers. The series creates a panoramic view of food and food design trends, and the future of the food industry.
