Expo Milano: SXSW Panel Goes Live; New York Times Travel Show

Two updates from the Expo Milan/USA Pavilion department this week:

Expo Milan and USA Pavilion have snagged some space at this weekend's New York Times Travel Show. From Friday through Sunday, head to the Jacob Javits Center to get to know the team behind USA Pavilion, themed "American Food 2.0: United to Feed the Planet" in accordance with the expo's overarching focus on sustainability, nutrition, and cuisine. The three-day convention will represent 150 countries through more than 500 exhibitors. Expo Milan/USA Pavilion can be found at booths 178 and 180.

Then, mark your calendars for our South by Southwest panel on Saturday, March 14. Chosen from more than 80 food-related panels submitted for consideration, our conversation is slated for the festival's new SouthBites umbrella, where culinary innovations will be discussed and showcased. The panel will preview the pavilion's theme, exhibits, and programming.

As we’ve been reporting for several weeks now, we’re leading the conception and buildout of the USA Pavilion at Expo Milano 2015, the first world’s fair to focus exclusively on food.
