If you’re in NYC on July 16th, be sure to catch Brainfood 2016, Spoon University’s 3rd annual conference, uniting all college students and young professionals with an overbearing love of food. This year, we’re hosting this epic event at the beautifully bougie venue that is 404.
You can expect endless food from kickass vendors like Tacombi, Dough, Wisefish Poké, Georgetown Cupcake, The Meatball Shop, and more (the list goes on and on). So, to further show you why you should buy your tickets now, I figured out how much money you’d be saving by eating all these yummy eats at Brainfood.

So assuming you have one item from each vendor, you’d tally up a bill of $96.35. If you buy your ticket to Brainfood, you’ll only spend $50 to get all that food, plus you’ll be exposed to panels led by incredible speakers like the founders of Ice and Vice, Y7, and @foodbabynyc, along with food industry legends like Lisa Mann and Jonathan Waxman. These speakers will discuss topics covering food transparency & responsibility, social media and how it revolutionized the food industry, and health & mindfulness while eating, just to name a few.
And if that wasn’t enough to convince you, on top of all the amazing speakers, networking, and food you’ll be exposed to at Brainfood, once you buy your ticket, you’ll be invited to an exclusive, free kick-off party at the Institute of Culinary Education. Keep an eye out for an email that will give you all the dirty deets about the kick-off party that will take place the day before Brainfood on Friday, July 15th.
With about a 50% savings and a guaranteed amazing day filled with yummy eats, photo booths, and incredible learning opportunities, you really can’t go wrong.
