IFT First Returns July 10-13

CHICAGO — IFT First, the Institute of Food Technology's annual meeting, will take place July 10-13, 2022, in person in Chicago and virtually. The event, which was rebranded as IFT First last year, lets food industry professionals come to network, collaborate and exchange technical and scientific knowledge as well as connect with customers and suppliers.

In recognition that the nature of the science of food is constantly evolving, IFT said it has strived to stay attuned to the needs of those who are seeking newer, more innovative ways to connect and share first-hand information about topics ranging from product development to cutting-edge research.

Over the past few years, the annual event has focused on a specific problem or question impacting the global food system. This year, IFT said it will be exploring: Hacking the Food Supply: Can We Synthesize a More Sustainable Future?

The event will feature science and business sessions, as well as an expo featuring the latest global trends, newest innovations and cutting-edge solutions for the food industry.
