The event provides unique opportunities to learn about sector trends, promote cold chain standards and network.

This Connection will be hosted in conjunction with the Anuga Fair and includes access to the Frozen Food Conference on “Frozen Food Supply Chain: Delivering Food Security for the World,” organized in partnership with the International Frozen Food Network.
