The Global Business of Food

Our third annual International Food Symposium will be another exciting two-day event giving you a 'snapshot' of global consumer trends and attitudes. We offer a fresh perspective of the global food market and we are recognized for presenting ideas and issues at the leading edge of emerging market trends. This year's theme is "The Global Business of Food" -- setting us apart by placing clear emphasis on business, as opposed to governments' policies, with insights into how global trends will impact all the key players in the food chain - from producer to retailer to consumer, and everything in-between.

Want to stay ahead of the pack and find out what's really coming in the market? Join us in Calgary, Alberta, Canada on Wednesday, March 15 and Thursday, March 16, 2006, at the Roundup Centre on the Calgary Stampede grounds.

Here's a taste of some of the 'need to know' food trends that you will hear about at this year's International Food Symposium - insights you can take home and apply to your organization's business and marketing strategy:

           Ready meals are a £1.2billion a year business in the UK and growing. Hear from a young London
       entrepreneur who is taking the industry by storm. This is the next big trend to hit North America.


           By 2010, US consumers will spend more money on food consumed outside the home than on food
       for the home. How can you get a piece of this action?


           Australia is targeting and investing in the India food market. Come and hear why and how!

           By 2020, 1 in 5 Americans will be of Hispanic decent. What do Hispanics eat? How will they change
       the food ethos of the US? How do you market to them?


           Convenience food is a US$25 billion market in UK and growing by 33% in 2010. The same growth
       is happening in North America. What do you need to know about this market to compete?


           Demand for case-ready, marinated, and ready-to-eat meat selections is growing. Hear about the
       latest global innovations in food packaging and how they can benefit your business.
