The world of food and H&N manufacturers is continually evolving. It seems that every few weeks, consumer preferences shift – forcing industries to adapt to these new demands. In addition Media and especially social media are drawing ambivalent scenarios and predict massive changes in nutrition. Product developers and marketers are challenged to keep pace. Perhaps even more dif cult is for companies to assess if or how these new consumer demands create value for the company and how sustainable such trends are.

In this GELITA Symposium, expert panelists and thought leaders will encourage us to evolve the industry’s thinking, to find new ways of interdisciplinary cooperation, to explore new combinations or simply to find new perspectives.

The GELITA Symposium will provide a platform of inspiration and allow participants to exchange ideas and experiences in a highly interactive environment. Speakers from diverse areas of expertise will provide food for thought and hands-on sessions will provide ample opportunities for creative product design concepts.
