Format

A reverse trade show

Each course brings technology suppliers together with the companies developing new products, so you learn the science and meet the people who can supply it.

Who attends

R&D to the plant floor

Formulators, food engineers, chemists, food technologists and scientists, plus the marketing, management and production staff who bring products to market.

Program
