Each year, the International Association for Food Protection
hosts an Annual Meeting, providings attendees with information on
current and emerging food safety issues, the latest science, innovative
solutions to new and recurring problems, and the opportunity to network
with thousands of food safety professionals from around the globe. Held
in various locations throughout North America, this meeting has grown
over the years to become the leading food safety conference worldwide. IAFP 2016 was held at the America's Center in St. Louis, Missouri.
The IAFP Annual Meeting was attended by more than 3,300 of the top
industry, academic and governmental food safety professionals from six
continents. This renowned event owes its reputation and success to the
quantity, quality and diversity of each year’s program; the quality and
relevance of exhibits sharing the latest in available technologies;
leading experts speaking on a variety of timely topics; and special
recognition of outstanding professionals and students for their
contributions in the food safety field.
