A few weeks ago, we launched a new Cross Cultures series called CONVERSATIONS. It spotlights women in the F&B ecosystem who are creating, making and doing– basically, helping better the world. Whether in media, public relations, education, the bar business or non-profit… there are so many amazing women who make the global F&B landscape what it is today.

We have also started a new Instagram account (@crossculturesconversations) for this particular series. Please do follow along as we will be posting new conversations every week.
