Join the International Community!
Diversity and a global perspective are at the heart of Terra Madre and Salone del Gusto. Delegates come from all around the world, representing the various communities, cultures, histories, struggles, and solutions united under the banner of good, clean, and fair. Historically, Terra Madre has also been an opportunity for Slow Food USA to broaden and diversify our network by bringing different folks together - from the person who is new to Slow Food to the person who is a long-time supporter. It has been an important avenue for those of us from the U.S. to realize ourselves in the context of and in relation with a truly global movement and community.
This year, Terra Madre and Salone del Gusto will come together as a unified event open to the public in Turin, Italy from October 25-29, 2012. The International Congress, which is a closed conference for Slow Food leaders worldwide that happens every five years, will take place concurrently in Turin from October 27-29, 2012. There will be a total of 2000 delegates to both events—and for the first time, regional selection committees will be choosing the majority of U.S. delegates.
- Being a U.S. delegate - sponsored by Slow Food USA - comes with the honor and responsibility of showing up well as a global citizen from the U.S. Are you ready to join the international community gathering in Turin, Italy this fall? Click here to apply to be a U.S. delegate!

If you indicate interest in attending International Congress, you will be considered ONLY for an International Congress delegate spot.
