It’s been one week since the fourth annual Smart Kitchen Summit (SKS) in North America, and we’re still processing all the incredible discussions we heard, futuristic foods we tasted, and inspiring people we met. This year, we had over 50 panels, solo talks, and fireside chats; 13 talented young companies pitching at our Startup Showcase; and one very photogenic food-running robot.
