This is year is different. And we're different, too.
2020 has challenged the food community in many ways. Concerns about global food safety and security, strains on supply chains and changes in ingredients sourcing have made it more pivotal than ever for ingredients suppliers and buyers to connect with their peers in the F&B industry.
Strengthening current business connections, forging new ones, sharing information and acquiring up-to-date insights have all become more business critical than ever in a fast-changing world. Global health & safety measures and travel restrictions have led us to see our annual community gatherings in a different light.
