The November Webinar Series is a new programme of live, online sessions built around the topics that matter most to the food industry right now, from food safety and sustainability to innovation and emerging regulation. Each session is led by experienced voices from across the sector, giving you direct access to insight and thinking you won't find anywhere else.
Every webinar stands on its own, so you can pick and choose the sessions most relevant to your work, your team, or your interests. There's no travel and no time out of the office. Just log in and take part from wherever you are.
Whether you want to sharpen your technical knowledge, stay ahead of industry developments, or connect with the wider food science community, there's a session here for you.
Driving Change from the Inside
Food system change isn't only made in boardrooms and government departments. It's made by food scientists and technologists solving real problems, one product and one process at a time. This session is built for anyone who wants less strategy talk and more of what change actually looks like on the ground. Expect honest, practical detail you can put to use straight away, whatever stage your own organisation is at.
