Food For ThoughtFood For Thought is Erwin Penland's thought leadership platform.  

It began six years ago with a three-day annual symposium celebrating the intersection of food, creative thinking, entrepreneurialism and social responsibility through events, discussions and of course, dining.  

The fully experiential gathering is crafted to inspire dialogue and debate among prominent entrepreneurs, business leaders and creative thinkers from around the country—showcasing how creativity is paramount to success in every organization, and in fact, in life.  

The platform itself has been extended into quarterly client sessions, internal agency training programs, research and marketing trend presentations.
