I have been reading about a conference put on by the Association of Food and Drug Officials. (AFDO)

 

https://www.afdo.org...nal-conference/

 

It looks pretty interesting. Unfortunately, my company does not provide time or resources for professional development.

Has anyone from this forum ever attended? Is worth the trip? Maybe I can push for it next year.

AltonBrownFanClub -

 

What professional development are you looking to accomplish? There are multiple conferences throughout a given year with both wide and narrow focuses - food safety, food defense, quality, poultry, fruits & veggies, etc.

Also. where you are located affects this in terms of travel, lodging, and food costs that can often be more than the cost of the conference.

@KTD

 

I was just asking if this conference is worthwhile.

If IFSQN members have attended and didn't enjoy it, I can remove myself from the AFDO mailing list.

Apologies for overstepping. I am not familiar with that particular meeting.

Not overstepping at all! I would go to any conference if it was offered to me.
