Search PARIS, 11th January 2015 – For the first time, the flagship food safety event of the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI), gathering 1,000 food industry leaders annually, is going to Asia in 2015 after 13 successful editions in Europe and North America.
Asia, a Strategic Region for Food Safety
Many companies are increasing their operations in the ASEAN region. Meanwhile, the GFSI approach is increasingly becoming embedded in their sourcing strategies. The GFSI Board has therefore decided to bring its annual event to Asia in 2015 in order to communicate GFSI’s objectives to a wider audience and engage them in our work. The Board selected Kuala Lumpur, as an important Asian hub, for this event.
What makes the GFSC a Must-Attend
The GFSI Global Food Safety Conference is a unique annual event that enables delegates to take the GFSI approach home with them and translate it into improved food safety in their business. What brings them to the GFSC is the opportunity to meet and network with industry peers, exchange best-practices, and take in disruptive talks by renowned speakers. At the end of the day, the GFSC 2015 is about taking the responsibility of collaborating efficiently in order to provide safer food to 7 billion consumers around the world.
Best-in-class Speakers and Hands-on Programme
Under the theme “Food Safety: a Shared Responsibility”, this year’s Programme addresses hot topics in our industry from both global and regional (APAC) angles.
