Each year the China International Food Safety & Quality (CIFSQ) Conference + Expo offers stakeholders from government, industry, science and academia an unparalleled opportunity to come together to discuss mutual challenges and explore viable solutions. If you are involved with food safety, you cannot afford to miss this annual event. Join more than 800 leading figures involved with all aspects of food safety for an outstanding educational and networking experience.
Following the success of six previous meetings, the 7th annual China International Food Safety & Quality (CIFSQ) Conference + Expo 2013 was held in Beijing at the Crowne Plaza Sun Palace Hotel on November 6 - 7, 2013. An educational program featuring 87 leading figures in the world of food safety addressed a diverse range of topics highlighting the critical issues, approaches and solutions to strengthening food protection within China and globally. This premier gathering was attended by 811 professionals from over 19 countries. Participants shared a high level of enthusiasm in sharing experiences as well as an unparalleled opportunity to expand their knowledge and network.
"Food is essential, and safety should be a top priority. Food safety is closely related to people's lives and health, economic development and social harmony. We must create a food safety system of self-disciplined food companies with integrity, effective government supervision and broad public support to improve overall food safety."
Premier Li Keqiang
Head of the National Food Safety Commission, State Council, P.R.C
