The 2025 Global Taste & Smell Summit

The 2025 Global Taste & Smell Summit, An invite-only impact platform and retreat.

This September, the Hudson Valley’s legendary Culinary Institute of America becomes the setting for an extraordinary convergence of minds. From pioneers in sensory science, hospitality, and brand strategy to leaders in clinical research, policy, design, and AI innovation—this retreat-style summit is more than a gathering. It’s a living think tank designed to break silos and translate science into action.

Because when brilliant minds meet face to face, remarkable things happen.

The magic? It’s in the dialogue.

This is not a conference. It’s a brain trust for impact—crafted to drive real-world change in how we understand, protect, and elevate taste, smell, and the quality of life they shape.

In an era defined by AI and accelerating transformation, human connection is the new catalyst. And this is where it begins.


Two days. A world of possibility.

Expect:

  • Sensory experiences that spark the imagination—from curated tasting tours to immersive demonstrations

  • An innovation showcase, breakthrough ideas and real-time collaborations

  • Funders and backers in the room—not just observing, but engaging

  • Policy discussions with the power to shift futures

  • Decades of wisdom, distilled into two unforgettable days

You won’t learn everything. But the best will be shared.

Nominate yourself or someone extraordinary to receive an invitation.

Let’s shape what comes next—together.
