ROSEMONT, IL / ACCESSWIRE / January 19, 2021 / In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, food safety remains a vital topic throughout the supply chain. The Educational Advisory Board for the Food Safety Summit has developed a highly relevant program for the 2021 Food Safety Summit which will be held VIRTUALLY May 11-13, 2021. The education sessions will focus on the unique challenges of the 'new normal' in four topic areas: COVID-19 and Beyond, Regulatory and Legal Issues, Tools and Technology, and Support for Food Safety Professionals. For 23 years, The Food Safety Summit has been committed to delivering mission-critical technology and methods to food safety professionals throughout the supply chain. Registration for the virtual conference is now available at www.foodsafetysummit.com.
'Following our successful 2020 Virtual Summit this past October, we are once again looking forward to convening the food safety community for in-depth conversations on pressing topics and showcasing exhibitors' latest products and technology,' said Scott Wolters, Chief Events Officer, BNP Media. 'We had hoped we would be able to gather in person this May, however with the impact of the global pandemic still a real threat we believe it is safest to bring the industry together virtually. We will be implementing new features on our virtual platform including video chat, networking opportunities, and more to enhance the attendee and exhibitor experience.'
