This event is a collaboration between IFST, IFT British Section, the Food and Drink Federation, and Campden BRI. 

President of the Institute of Food Technologists (IFT) will be delivering the lecture as part of an evening reception at the Food and Drink Federation Headquarters.

All attendees will receive a CPD certificate, which you will be able to add to your CPD record on the IFST system.

The Binsted Lecture always presents a unique opportunity to meet and connect with experienced food sector professionals and grow your network, and we are proud of how inclusive our ecosystem continues to be. Raymond Binsted was one of the founders of IFT and of the IFT British Section in 1939.  Raymond was very keen on inviting distinguished US scientists to speak at UK meetings; this annual Lecture is part of his legacy.
