About the Event
Lengua is an award-winning conference about food business. We’re here to create a space for F&B executives, business-owners, and chefs to connect, collaborate, and engage in meaningful discussions about the past, present and future of the food and beverage industry. We talk about innovation, marketing, and business.
Lengua 2026: Origins
Lengua's 5th Conference explores the idea of Origins - where our food, traditions, and stories come from, and how they evolve across cultures. Conversations will dive into ancestral ingredients and knowledge, migration and identity, cross-cultural influence on cuisine, and the modern reinterpretation of heritage in food, branding, and storytelling. From regenerative farming to culinary memory and creative ownership, Origins invites F&B professionals, chefs, creators, and thinkers to trace the roots shaping how we eat - and who we are - today.
This edition is packed with inspiring keynotes, cutting-edge panels, networking opportunities, and exclusive food tastings with award-winning chefs - all designed to give your F&B business the tools and knowledge to thrive.

TESTIMONIALS
" Lengua is so important because it's creating the forums for really important conversations. It creates the safe space to educate one another and I think in many ways it inspires the current and next generation of Chefs in the industry." Chandler Stroud, VP & Head of Restaurant Marketing, Resy
“It’s important to bring people together to talk about issues that we’re thinking about in the restaurant industry. The restaurant industry is changing, it’s not just about restaurants anymore; it’s about purpose, about missions, it’s about changing communities, It’s about bringing up the next generation.” Lara Gilmore, owner at Michelin-Star Restaurant Osteria Francescana and Food for Soul
“I think it's so easy, whether it's food or any other industry, to get complacent in your own views. When I come to events like Lengua all I can think about is: I need to have the rest of my team here because it's all about bringing the outside into our thoughts and views that allow us to move things forward." Erica Watkins, Director of Disruptive Innovation, Kraft Heinz
