Congresses & Conventions
Congresses are held in May in a consuming or producing country. These meetings are for top-level managers who join colleagues to discuss topical issues of vital interest, complemented by social programmes to consolidate business relationships and relax in an informal atmosphere.
This is an opportunity for nearly 50 participating countries with over 600 attendees to discuss global production and consumption trends. Experts in their respective fields are invited to present topical papers for discussion among industry leaders.
