Information about an exciting upcoming Ontario-wide conference
Food entrepreneurs: Building Ontario Innovation One Product at a Time will take place on March 3 and 4, 2016 in Barrie. The Agri-Food Management Institute has been working diligently with host Georgian College to organize an Ontario-wide conference to help food entrepreneurs (those adding value to food) grow their business. They have a very ambitious agenda with panel discussions ranging from innovation, to HR, to export, to marketing, to regulations, to a whole range of other important topics. You can view the full list and description of breakouts at the following link under the main conference registration link: www.georgiancollege.ca/FEON. There are also two pre-conference workshops on food safety regulations and nutrition labelling.
