Resistance Served is an annual food, beverage, and hospitality symposium based in New Orleans, LA. Since 2019, we have gathered restaurant folks across all levels of the industry to celebrate and contextualize the contributions of the African Diaspora to the world of hospitality through a multi-day program of educational seminars, discussions, and experiential activations that inspire community and encourage nuanced conversation.
This year, we are committed to safely keeping that same energy with a reimagined format. Resistance Served 2021 will be a 48-hour straight stream of the workshops, panels and demos we are known for. No matter where you are in the world, you will be able to tune in and access relevant and engaging content that’s geared toward our domestic and international audiences.
The theme for this year’s symposium is Underground Economies. When we limit our view of hospitality to exist primarily in bars and restaurants, we leave so many people out of the story. This year, we take a look at the margins of the food and beverage industry, where Black folks have been forced throughout time to innovate as a means to survive.
