ABOUT ABOUT

Join the Southern Foodways Alliance October 21-22 at the University of Mississippi in our hometown of Oxford, Mississippi, as we explore barbecue.

Restrictions
  • Must be 21+ to attend the symposium.
  • Masks will be required at events held at indoor venues where/if local guidelines require it.
  • SFA reserves the right to require negative COVID tests within 72 hours from the event’s start if there is an active outbreak. Anyone who tests positive (and their travel companions, if requested) will have tickets fully refunded.
  • The annual Southern Foodways Symposium is a big undertaking each year as we welcome guests to Oxford. Over two days, we’ll serve five meals and two bites during receptions. Our focus this year is on barbecue. Because of the way symposium meals are prepared and served it is difficult to impossible to accommodate special meal requests. Please take this reality into account as you consider purchasing a ticket.

 

  • IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON TICKET PRICING 
    SFA continues working to build an audience for our in-person events that represents the diversity of people living and working in the South, invests in vital futures for SFA and the region, and reflects the economic realities of the contemporary food and media industries. To that end, we’ve reserved a portion of Fall Symposium passes as full access “pay-as-you-can” tickets.

    SFA announces a general ticket price of $500 for the 2022 Fall Symposium. Note that this $500 ticket is subsidized by generous contributions from our donors.

    Attendees able to pay more than $500 are helping others. Attendees who pay only what they can allow the SFA community to support them.

    Please be mindful that if you purchase a price at the lowest end of the scale when you can afford a higher-priced ticket, you limit the access of those who need the financial flexibility. SFA’s sliding scale ticket model will help us grow a strong and sustainable Fall Symposium that welcomes all to the conversation.
