We have been publishing Potato Processing International (formerly Potato Business World) since 1992 and introduced the popular International Potato Processing Convention in 1997 - a popularity it retains.
When we announced Potato Storage International magazine in 2004, it was also clear that there was also a demand for a convention that offered an international look at the global opportunities for the storage industry, which led to the creation of the International Potato Storage Convention.
There was a clear opportunity to "twin" the International Potato Storage Convention with the established International Potato Processing Convention and create a broader, higher value event - a move that was very effective and greatly liked by attendees.
Offering dedicated programmes for each of the storage and processing industries, plus a "for all" programme of topics important to both sectors, plus delegates being free enjoy both programmes as much as they wished and sharing break out facilities created great interaction. Feedback demanded the concept of combining the two events should continue. This it will, with some changes to the structure to further enhance the event.
