The organization’s annual meeting and food expo will occur virtually July 19-21.
With most in-person events still on pause due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the Institute for Food Technologists’ (IFT) annual meeting and food expo will yet again be virtual for 2021. However, the event won’t lack opportunities to connect with other food-industry professionals and learn about innovations in the field.
The Chicago-based organization built a three-day artificial-intelligence-enabled digital experience, called FIRST (food improved by research, science, and technology), that will take place July 19-21, 2021. FIRST will provide an interactive, solutions-oriented experience that brings together global communities to solve food-centric challenges and spark innovation to benefit the global population, IFT says.
