More details regarding the virtual format will be shared in the coming weeks.
The Institute of Food Technologists (IFT) announced that it will transition the IFT20 Annual Event and Food Expo, slated for July 12-15 at McCormick Place in Chicago, to a virtual event experience. The move comes in an effort to prioritize the health and safety of participants and the broader community throughout current and anticipated developments of the COVID-19 pandemic.
“After thoughtful consultation with leaders and partners within the food industry and academia, IFT’s board of directors made the decision to transition IFT’s on-site Annual Event and Food Expo into a virtual event experience,” said IFT President Pam Coleman. “We believe this to be the best and safest course of action in light of the evolving COVID-19 pandemic developments.”
