“This is the only global food contact conference of its kind and I am really looking forward to bringing it back to Europe this year. There is a lot to take in on this year’s agenda, and it is particularly important now more than ever to be aware of how regulations in new markets are taking shape and the global diversity of this conference and its attendees reflects that,” says Hayley Marsden, Conference Director.

The conference also provides attendees the opportunity to network with food contact professionals from across the globe and throughout the whole supply chain, and allows them to get involved with the in-depth pre-conference workshops available on US-FDA and national European regulations.
