What was “new” for 2013?

• “Aha”moments - It could be an idea, a suggestion, planting a seed, the start of a discussion - anything that triggers a thought process of something you can do back in your own institution. We're asking delegates to record these action lists to motivate them upon return to their institutions
• GOLD Food for Life Accreditation on all Conference menus
