Welcome to the Shared Kitchen Summit, hosted by The Food Corridor. This isn’t just an event; it’s the premier gathering spot where the heart of the shared kitchen community beats the strongest. It’s where we all come together to share, learn, and celebrate the incredible work being done in shared kitchens across the country. Many would say it is an experience. 

Shared kitchens are more than just places to cook; they’re vibrant centers that nourish local food systems, boost community prosperity, and open doors for aspiring entrepreneurs and producers. They’re at the forefront of creating jobs, training workers, improving access to healthy food, and supporting our local farmers. They help breathe new life into neighborhoods and even draw in tourists, all while building a more inclusive economy.

A gathering place for the Network for Incubator and Commissary Kitchens (NICK) – the largest network of shared kitchens - and steered by The Food Corridor – the premier technology partner for the industry - this Summit is your golden ticket. It’s your chance to be at the leading edge of the shared kitchen wave, joining hands with a community that’s all about boosting efficiency, sparking growth, and innovating in our local food scenes. You’ll dive into a treasure trove of knowledge, swap best practices, and get your hands on priceless data and technical know-how to not just keep your kitchen running, but to help it thrive and elevate the local food landscape.

We’re inviting you to the Shared Kitchen Summit to be a part of a powerful group that’s shaping the future of the food industry through shared-use kitchens. Together, we can tackle the challenges that shared kitchens face and pave the way for a food economy that’s not just surviving, but thriving. Let’s make a lasting difference, one shared kitchen at a time. Come join us; it’s going to be a fantastic ride!
