The 7th Annual ICCA Summit has been designed by the ICCA board of directors to address the challenging economic conditions we face this year. We have invited some of the nation’s top economists, leading marketing research firms and experts in new underutilized cuts of pork. We will also have an unveiling of some of the new teachings for the Culinary Institute of America campus in San Antonio plus regional chefs featuring urban Western cuisine, Latin influenced cooking and of course barbecue. Complete details on the educational programming will be announced soon. The ICCA board of directors has also authorized a 50 percent discount on registration and membership for all members who register for the Summit by January 15th.

The 2009 ICCA Summit will be headquartered at the historic Driskill Hotel. The Driskill Hotel was built in 1886 to the tune of $400,000.00 by Col. Jesse Driskill, a wealthy cattleman. It helped forge the fate of Austin as the Texas State Capital. This grand hotel is the perfect location for the customized educational programs of the 2009 ICCA Summit.
