The conference is expected to fetch about 4000 registered delegates. The 4 four-day mega event is an ideal platform for the deliberation, networking, and the exchange of knowledge and partnerships between global stakeholders for addressing the issues related to societal outreach, industrial, research and academic collaborations. The mega Food Expo organized during the conference provides a unique opportunity for the manufacturing industry, analytical laboratories, ingredients manufacturers, educational institutes, and various other stakeholders in the field of food to showcase their activities and scope for business and other mutual collaborations.
