The event’s 40th edition is coming back to London after 26 years, with a stimulating three-day programme where attendees will debate and discuss industry knowledge covering topics such as product and market trends, nutrition and the latest scientific discoveries in nut and dried fruit consumption. As well as this, the Congress will host excellent networking opportunities for participants at emblematic London locations such as The Dorchester and the Tate Modern.
Congress Sessions
The Nutrition Research Seminar will enable attendees to know the latest advances in health and nutrition. Led by renowned Professor Jordi Salas-Salvadó, the session will cover the major scientific findings from the last year. He will be joined by Dr. Marta Guasch-Ferré, discussing nut consumption for the prevention of cardiovascular disease and also Prof. Gideon Lack, winner of this year’s INC Award for Excellence in Research, who will discuss the Learning Early About Peanut Allergy (LEAP) study and beyond.
The Sustainability Seminar will be run by Pino Calcagni, chairman of the INC Sustainability, Scientific and Government Affairs Committee, where he will be joined by Dr. Rachael Garrett, Moran Professor of Conservation and Development, University of Cambridge. Calgagni will give an overview of sustainability practices along the supply chain and introduce the new INC Sustainability Project, which will focus on the importance of reforestation. Dr. Garrett will review threats to forests and sustainable development in the tropics, and the success and shortfalls of current policies to end deforestation and improve livelihoods in the region.
Along with the research and health programmes, Virginia Stagni, business development manager and talent director at the Financial Times, and mountaineer Edurne Pasaban, the first woman to summit all 14 eight-thousanders will give the keynote sessions. Stagni will focus on the importance of identifying young talents to bring to the company and Pasaban will share, Expedition to Success: Achieving goals and overcoming difficulties.
Finally, the Congress’s technical programme includes a series of thematic round-table discussions focused on the different types of nuts and dried fruits, which will be run by nut and dried fruit industry’s top professionals from all over the world.
