MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR
The South African Association for Food Science & Technology (SAAFoST) will be holding its 22nd Biennial International Congress and Exhibition from 3-6 September 2017 at the state of the art Century City Convention Centre, Cape Town.
The theme of the congress “A hunger for change: innovations, solutions and emerging technologies” will form a framework to explore solutions to the many challenges that food professionals face in the mission to provide a sustainable supply of safe, satisfying and healthy food.
The congress aims to attract over 600 delegates ̶ not only from SAAFoST membership but also from the wider food industry locally, regionally and internationally.
A trade exhibition will be held in conjunction with the congress and will allow exhibitors to showcase new products and services and gain unparalleled access to their target market. A product theatre will give exhibitors the opportunity to make advertorial / educational presentations.
We invite you to participate in this, the most significant food event of 2017. There is no doubt that this congress will provide a unique opportunity to promote interaction and cement the relationships between industry, academic think-tanks and professionals. SAAFoST relies on your participation and we look forward to working with you to make a real difference to our industry.
