Dear Mr. Biden,

I hope this finds you well. I'm writing to invite you to join The Atlantic
on stage in Washington, D.C. on October 29, at the Food Summit
<http://www.theatlantic.com/live/events/food-summit/2015/>, our foremost
gathering on food and nutrition.

We would like to invite you to speak there about global hunger, food
security, and other topics top of mind for you. We believe that your work
with World Food Program USA would make you an invaluable addition to the
conversations we're planning about global scarcity, food education in
schools, and the changing face of farming. In past years, speakers have
included: Mario Batali, José Andrés, and Alice Waters.

You should also know that Michel Nischan, CEO of Wholesome Wave (and James
Beard award-winning chef), Jason Clay from the World Wildlife Fund, and
Science journalist John Bohannon have recently confirmed that they will
take part in the event. And we're coming close to nailing down a couple
more all-star speakers, including an incredible woman farmer and activist
in West Africa -- who is planning to travel all the way from Burkina Faso
just for the event.

We're thrilled that this program will represent the greatest chefs and
thinkers on food, on an international level. Hoping it could be a great
place for you to share more about your background and philosophy in front
of our high-level and invested audience of DC movers and shakers. And of
course, the many more who will tune in on the livestream.

You can reach me at [email-masked] or (202) 266-7942. I would love
to arrange a time to discuss the details of this program with you, at your
convenience.

All my best,
Valeria
