Just fifteen years ago Americans considered olive oil an “ethnic” product, and only a few markets offered sizable selections of Mediterranean foods like fresh olives, hummus, olive oils, balsamic vinegars and sun-dried tomatoes. That all changed in January 1993, when Oldways and a group of eminent scientists and award-winning chefs and food writers defined the concept of the Mediterranean Diet as a delicious, pleasurable, and very healthful way to eat. To popularize and help consumers understand this dietary pattern at a glance Oldways developed the Mediterranean Diet Pyramid, the now widely known colorful graphic designed to help consumers.

Oldways’ 15th Anniversary International Conference on the Mediterranean Diet will present the overwhelming and ever-mounting scientific evidence that details why everyone can benefit from this healthy approach. Also, in these days of spiraling food costs, Oldways will offer nitty-gritty advice on how “eating the Med way” can be affordable for everyone.

Who should attend an Oldways' Mediterranean Diet Conference?

Using Oldways’ trademark mix of influential scientists, health professionals, chefs and top-level media, our conferences focus on the age-old popularity of Mediterranean products and meals, and bringing more Americans to the Mediterranean table. They are designed for key influencers whose better understanding of the Med diet can affect hundreds, thousands, or millions of lives such as:

Government leaders, for perspective on packaging regulations and health policy
Marketing executives, for insight into innovative and successful promotions for whole grains
Health professionals, to learn what motivates consumer to change their food choices
Top-level journalists, for the details they need to write better stories on an important consumer issue
