SC23 Sponsorship & Exhibition Opportunities

About the conference

IFST’s Spring Conference (SC23) is entitled Taming the Perfect Storm - The Power of Food Science and Technology ’ and will take place at Cardiff Metropolitan University School of Management on April 27 2023 with a pre conference dinner and networking event the evening before. 

We will examine three challenges:

  • Food Security (supply chain robustness, food affordability)
  • Health and Nutrition (obesity, allergens, nutritional density) 
  • The Environment (sustainability, biodiversity, net zero)

None of these themes act in isolation and it is the combination of each of these that bring the greatest challenges, and which are the focus for our highly relevant and practical conference this year.

Benefits of sponsoring

As well as our vibrant and growing membership base (now over 3200 members), IFST has a network of influential stakeholders and organisations that engage with and support the many activities we are involved in.

If your organisation is in any way connected with the food sector - whether as an equipment or services provider,  food or ingredient manufacturer, a legislator, a retailer or as a policy maker - then our events can provide a great opportunity to connect your organisation with our extensive and wide range of influencers and decision-makers.
