Jim Carroll delivered a keynote at RDA Food & Entertaining’s ‘Setting the Table’ Consumer Food Symposium on September 24, 2008, in New York City. The event brought together leaders from major consumer packaged goods and food-related companies — along with their agency partners — to engage in a forward-looking discussion on consumer trends in food and entertaining. Jim offered a fresh perspective on innovation in the food sector, challenging attendees to rethink how consumer expectations, technology, and cultural shifts were converging to reshape the industry. The day-long symposium was designed to spark dialogue across the CPG, food, and agency communities at a pivotal moment for the sector.
