What you likely need
You sit at the intersection of diplomacy, humanitarian leadership, and business — so the most valuable Festival events connect you with food-tech and agri-tech founders who need your WFP platform and UN credibility as much as you need their innovation. You'll get the most from rooms where corporate partners, development finance institutions, and mission-driven investors are already primed to talk food security as a business imperative. Peer gatherings with other senior UN and NGO leaders round out the picture, giving you the structured downtime and high-trust sounding board that a role of your scale demands.
