Food Media South has ended
Welcome to Food Media South, a Southern Foodways Alliance symposium, February 27-28 in Birmingham, Alabama. This SOLD OUT event explores storytelling in the digital era. Feel free to peruse the schedule and directory of speakers and attendees.

Underwriting for FMS comes from The Alabama Tourism Department and The Greater Birmingham Convention and Visitors Bureau.

The Southern Foodways Alliance documents, studies, and celebrates the diverse food cultures of the changing American South. We set a common table where black and white, rich and poor — all who gather — may consider our history and our future in a spirit of reconciliation.
