Food Tank, Huston-Tillotson University, and Barr Mansion team up for this all-day summit on all things food (it’s right there in the name!), a rare official SXSW event that is also totally free (but you’ll have to RSVP). Educators, advocates, policymakers, and more gather to chew over accessibility, affordability, sustainability, and wellness. Sweetening the deal? All day you’ll be nomming on complimentary comestibles, from Swig Cheese Haus hemp cheese to Floofy’s Fluff organic cotton candy and a Niman Ranch charcuterie table. – Kimberley Jones
