Explore what’s next in food safety at IAFP 2020
Are you a food safety professional? Then you don’t want to miss out on one of the most forward-looking events of this year – the International Association for Food Protection’s 2020 Annual Meeting, or simply IAFP 2020. This year’s event, scheduled for October 26 – 28, will be all virtual, but it’s shaping up to be just as exciting as any other year!
Offering Breakthrough Science at IAFP
“It’s the key international conference in food safety,” says John David, global scientific marketing manager, 3M Food Safety. “Leading technical experts from around the world come together to discuss the latest topics in food safety – current and future trends and challenges, new technologies, and changes in regulations and international standards.”
This is the can’t-miss virtual event of the year!
