Cereals 17 Meeting Highlights
The lead up to Cereals 17 promised this would be the year of a rejuvenated meeting: the place to learn, collaborate, and innovate with the best and brightest in the grain-based foods industry. Based on the impressive meeting reviews, and the continued buzz and excitement among the meeting participants, Cereals 17 exceeded expectations. More than 800 professionals from 35 countries met in San Diego, CA, October 8–11, 2017, to exchange the latest advances in grain science and technology. Taking a fresh approach, the program team, chaired by Lauren Brewer, stepped up the science offerings by incorporating more interactive sessions to stimulate thinking and networking. In addition to the valuable program of nearly 400 scientific presentations, attendees also created connections and discovered new opportunities while exploring Solution Central, home base for more than 100 exhibiting and sponsoring companies. The unique and intimate venue also offered impromptu opportunities to connect with old and new colleagues. |
