International Association for Food Protection Conference (IAFP) is a leading food safety conference around the world. Each year, an annual meeting is hosted by IAFP in North America with over 3000 attendees from universities, industry and government agencies. The conference provides a great opportunity to learn about food safety from different perspectives as well as network with food safety professionals.

This was a very meaningful conference for the lab. We learned different food safety topics from the experts, we talked to people with different perspectives, we told people about our lab, and we made friends at the conference.
