2nd Annual SQF International Conference to Discuss Consumer Confidence

The 2nd Annual SQF International Conference in Nashville, Tenn., will center on discussions about the decreased consumer confidence in the food supply and what all stakeholders in the global food market need to do to regain that confidence. The conference will promote discussion and give participants the latest information on food safety certification and the SQF Program.

Delegates will:

• Learn about new trends in food safety certification, including food defense requirements and social and environmental responsibility.
• Discover ways a supplier can build consistency, credibility and customer confidence, and reduce food safety and quality management system implementation and maintenance costs.
• Share information and exchange ideas with retailers, suppliers, and training and certification providers.

A series of pre-conference workshops will be held as part of the conference program, and participants can take the opportunity to use these innovative formats to learn more about the SQF Program.

The conference takes place Nov. 7-9 at the Renaissance Nashville Hotel in Nashville, Tenn. Registration before Oct. 1 costs $600; after, it costs $700. For more information, or to register online, visit www.sqfi.com.
