ATLANTA - eTradeWire -- From July 29 - 31, nutrition educators will meet at the Mariott Marquis in Atlanta, GA, for the Society for Nutrition Education and Behavior annual conference. With a focus on Re-engineering Nutrition Education and Behavior... designing tech competence in your digital world, conference attendees will discuss tech equity, technology and the food system, technology in the scholarship of teaching and learning, and integrating technology across the research spectrum.

"The 2020 COVID-19 pandemic impacted all activities on planet earth, including design, delivery, and evaluation of nutrition education and our daily nutrition behaviors.  Educators, researchers, and policymakers rose to the challenge to continue service, study phenomena, and solve problems in the face of significant barriers," said SNEB President-elect and conference chair Barbara Lohse, Ph.D., RD. "The 2022 SNEB Annual Conference will acknowledge and inventory these accomplishments to honor, inform, inspire and design future health and nutrition education and behavior endeavors and venues. Modifications implemented to sustain our focus and productivity highlighted known concerns with technophobia by consumers and professionals and the need for retraining, but also revealed novel problems and prompted fast-track solutions, likely to persist post-pandemic."
