Fermentation 2021 is the first annual conference put on by 📝The Fermentation Association (TFA). The event is for all fermentation enthusiasts--hobbyists, chefs, scientists, academics, producers, retailers, and anyone interested in building their fermentation fluency. [1]

Nearly 300 individuals from around the world participated in The Fermentation Association’s first conference, FERMENTATION 2021. The virtual event included 35 educational keynotes, presentations, and panel discussions from more than 60 speakers over three days. Topics ranged from the science of fermentation to the art of fermenting to create flavor, from how fermented products are selling at retail to what’s next in the world of fermentation. [2]

📝Fermenters Anonymous made plans to attend Fermentation 2021 together in Chicago, but were just as delighted to attend it virtually when the switch was made and were nerding out throughout.

Reflections

“I’ve been in this field for 40 years and, in all honesty, this is one of the biggest honors I’ve received, to be the speaker for this opening meeting of this really cool organization,” said Bob Hutkins, professor of food science at the University of Nebraska. Hutkins presented the conference’s opening keynote, Definition & History of Fermented Foods.
