The National Conferences of Food and Nutrition Security join a set of participatory institutions in Brazil and in the last years had the purpose of establishing the priorities of the National Policy on Food and Nutrition Security (PNSAN) and the National Plan on Food and Nutrition Security (PLANSAN). The aim was to present an overview of the CNSANs that took place in Brazil from selected variables, referring to the themes, aims, forms of organization, rules for deliberation, inclusive potential and Outputs of the conference process. It is an exploratory study with documental analysis that used as a unit of analysis the CNSAN's convocations acts, regulations and reports. The data from five groups were categorized: G1 – Characterization of conferences; G2 – Form of Organization; G3 – Rules of Deliberation; G4 – Inclusive potential and G5 – Outputs of the conference process. Main results: The majority of CNSAN aimed to propose public policies. All the CNSANs were organized through work groups and plenary sessions favoring participation-deliberation. A quota system was established from the III CNSAN, expanding the participation of traditional peoples and communities. It was also observed that the conferences mobilized a large number of participants and cities involved.
