Food Safety is no accident – it takes everyday heroes like you to ensure the safety and quality of our food products, services and processes. The Food Safety Summit, the largest and most established food safety and defense exposition in North America is the place where Heroes meet. The Summit features a full program of intensive educational seminars, workshops networking events and a large trade show exhibition.

Each year, the Summit provides food processors, retailers, foodservice, government, military and academic professionals a forum to learn from expert speakers and trainers. Heroes looking to exchange ideas, find solutions to current job challenges and engage in networking opportunities.

The Summit is owned and operated by BNP Media, the world’s largest media producer for the food, beverage and packaging industries. The 2009 Summit, which takes place April 27 th - 29 th at the Washington DC Convention Center, will be supported by a comprehensive and integrated attendee marketing campaign incorporating BNP Media’s 19 industry-leading publications and websites long with media partners including Food Quality magazine, Food Safety Magazine, and Quality Assurance magazine.

At the Summit, you will find two and a half days or intensive education covering traditional concerns (E. coli, product tampering, employee training, microbiological testing) to the rapidly emerging (bioterrorism, traceability, lab automation, global regulatory trends) – as well as topics that address the very real issue of crisis management. Also at the Summit, Heroes will find a resource-rich Exhibition Hall with over 200 exhibitors, the New Products Showcase, Posters and the opportunity to continue your education in the Vendor Track Theatre.
