The IAFP program committee has scheduled a webinar about the criteria and review process used for submissions on proposed symposia, roundtables, workshops and abstract sessions for the association’s 2019 conference. The technical content for the annual event is determined from this.
Four members of the program committee are scheduled to present information during the webinar, which is set for 9 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. EDT on Aug. 14. The 2019 annual meeting and conference for the International Association for Food Protection (IAFP) is planned for July 21-24 at the Kentucky International Convention Center in Louisville.
