Gulfood visitors can also look forward to learning from industry experts, analysts and global leaders about recent trends and critical issues impacting the industry. Building on the steady success of the Gulfood Conference over the last few years, the programme has been expanded to include a franchising workshop in addition to a series of intense, highly specialised briefings covering topics ranging from finance to legal to sourcing strategy. The hugely successful Food Leaders’ Summit and, Food Processing and Packaging Forum will also form part of the agenda.
