New for 2022, FoodTech Qld will have content curated by the Australian Institute of Packaging (AIP), with the association providing 15 expert speakers for the conference taking place on 7-8 July.
In partnership with the Australian Institute of Food Science & Technology (AIFST), attendees will hear from leading experts on topics such as agtech, climate science, food technology, save food packaging and food waste, innovative packaging design for food and beverage, and much more.
FoodTech Qld conference is made up of two different concurrent streams over the course of the two days, and delegates can choose to attend any session between the two streams.
Every FoodTech Qld conference pass includes a complimentary ticket to the Poolside Welcome Party at The Star Gold Coast, and to the Networking Drinks at HOTA (including transfers).
