WHAT IS THE CONCEPT OF THE CONVENTION?
In a world of increasing globalisation, our unique Convention brings together two key elements of the potato industry, elements where value adding and quality are of paramount importance for business success. But the Convention is not limited to those two disciplines.
The emphasis is on International and business development, boosted by providing attendees with thought-provoking, business-building programmes of presentations and a unique, conducive atmosphere to mix with industry colleagues from around the world.
The focal point of the high quality programme of presentations firmly illustrates this as a business development event and the added, very valuable, extensive networking opportunities with fellow industry professionals enhance the event's profile even further.
Responding to feedback, we continue to adapt the structure of the event to provide the industry with a rounded event full of opportunity across three days.
An accompanying small exhibition and a Technical Workshop programme add to the industry value of the Convention which retains its excellent networking/social programme for 2012. You will leave the Convention with much industry information and some unique, great memories!
WILL IT BE WELL ATTENDED AND WORTH MY TIME?
The final numbers will only be known once the list of attendees is complete. Though judging from early industry feedback to our plans we believe attendance will be good!
The interesting location, plus extended promotion in Potato Storage International, Potato Processing International and industry information sources, plus the fact that for 2012 we have a far more economical setting, all helps!
With specific themed, dedicated Speaker Programmes, the real opportunity to network with new, international, like-minded industry colleagues, much lower costs (with good discounts available for 'early bird' registrations), plus the great location, we believe you will conclude that it is most definitely worth attending.
But do not just take our word for it - ask around. There are many in the industry who could give you their impression of this very useful event.
We had some very interesting feedback from recent Conventions. Some of the comments we have been permitted to use can be found on the 'Testimonials' page of this website.
