Tuesday Keynote Speaker Sponsor (Exclusive)
“Disrupting Workplace Bias”
Chef Jeff Henderson, Inspiring Celebrity Chef, Star of Flip My Food with Chef Jeff, and author of If You Can See It, You Can Be It.
This is a perfect opportunity if you want a high visibility and thought-provoking sponsorship! Jeff Henderson was once the poster child for explicit and unconscious bias. Following his release from federal prison over two decades ago, few people would give him a chance at redemption. Having honed a talent for the culinary arts behind prison walls, Henderson was eager to show his transformation to the world; however, the doors of rejection slammed hard. Luckily, a few bold and visionary corporate leaders stepped up to give him a shot at his dream. He became the first African American chef at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, followed by stints at Hard Rock Hotel and the world-renowned Bellagio Resort and Casino. Jeff Henderson has been moving forward ever since.
Celebrity “Chef Jeff,” as he is known today, is using his experiences to demonstrate how unchecked bias can impact a company’s bottom line. He also shares that, with conscious effort, checked bias can change the trajectory of a human life. He is a living witness to this fact. Today Chef Jeff is the best-selling author of “Cooked,” and he is the former star of the Food Network’s “The Chef Jeff Project.”
Chef Jeff inspires attendees by sharing his inspirational journey of personal and professional transformation, while also offering unique insights about the importance of eradicating bias in workplaces.

Don’t Limit Your Exposure to Just the NCA Convention!
The following provides valuable opportunities to partner with the industry’s leading trade association and maintain a strategic, consistent, high-profile presence with NCA members and customers throughout the year.
NCA COLD BREW SAFETY TOOLKIT FOR RETAILERS AND VIDEO SERIES SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITY
Cold brew is, undoubtedly, one of the hottest categories in coffee. Its rapid growth has taken everyone by surprise -- and safety regulations have been slow to adapt.
To fill this void and help cold brew retailers brew, serve, and store cold brew safely, NCA is assembling an all-new cold brew toolkit and video series geared for retailers. Position your brand as a leader in cold brew by sponsoring the industry's go-to guide for retail cold brew safety.
This sponsorship opportunity spans two products for NCA members that will be heavily promoted to our membership and the general public across all NCA channels, and will live in near-perpetuity* online:
- A multi-page technical guide that will provide step-by-step guidance to NCA members who wish to brew, store, and serve cold brew safely in a retail setting; and
- Three (3) 60-second, professionally-animated explainer videos covering the principles of cold brew safety and offering specific guidance to retailers and manufacturers of cold brew products.
This is an unparalleled opportunity to put your brand front and center in a suite of professional cold brew resources that many in the industry will refer to for critical guidance again and again for years to come.
There are sponsorship options for every marketing objective and budget. For more information, contact Terri Bartlett, Director of Member Relations, at trbartlett@ncausa.org or at 646.924.4039.
