BUILDING CONNECTIONS AN THE AMTAB K-12 SYMPOSIUM
At NxtGen Network, we believe in celebrating innovation, connection, and impact—and the AmTab K-12 Symposium embodies all three. Partnering with AmTab , we’re proud to help bring this one-of-a- kind event to life—from the planning and production to the coordination of scholarships that make it possible for school nutrition professionals to attend from across the country. This year’s Symposium was a standout experience, bringing together directors and school nutrition leaders for three days of learning, networking, and discovery at AmTab’s headquarters. Together, we explored how design, creativity, and collaboration can completely transform K-12 dining spaces. One of the biggest highlights was seeing firsthand how
AmTab’s state-of-the-art cafeteria furniture and equipment are made right in their U.S. manufacturing facility. Attendees got a behind-the-scenes look at the process—from design to production—and learned how AmTab’s innovations help schools reimagine their cafeterias into engaging, flexible, and student-centered spaces. AmTab has become a trusted leader in creating modern, multipurpose learning environments for K-12. Their mobile tables, creative seating options, and vibrant signage and graphics are designed to make every cafeteria not just a place to eat, but a place to connect, collaborate, and build community. Seeing those ideas in action during the Symposium reminded
everyone how intentional design can inspire student pride and participation. The learning didn’t stop there. Attendees earned CEUs while participating in powerful sessions led by thought leaders from across the industry, including the Institute of Child Nutrition (ICN), Equalis Group, and School Food Rocks. Each speaker brought fresh ideas, actionable takeaways, and renewed excitement for the mission behind school nutrition. And of course, it wouldn’t be an AmTab event without some fun. The networking events were lively and memorable, filled with great conversations, laughter, and new friendships. The atmosphere truly captured the spirit of the Symposium— collaboration, creativity, and community.
