Food and Agriculture Business Seminar
2016-06-05 - 2016-06-07
The Food Institute developed the Food and Agriculture Business Seminar to bring together a diverse group of current and emerging leaders in the industry to collectively examine trends and issues in today’s global marketplace.
By working together in strategically dynamic groups, participants benefit from each others’ expertise as they critically examine real cases and interact with executives from featured businesses in a non-competitive environment.
The seminar’s cases explore the shifting roles of government, food security, consumer perspective and developing markets in real scenarios that top industry businesses and organizations have faced. Attendees are expected to have studied the cases prior to the event and will be organized into discussion groups facilitated by subject matter experts. Within these discussion groups, attendees will challenge the issues and relevant points in preparation for the open discussion, led by the case study creator and an executive of the guest organization.
Participants will leave with a new perspective, strategic networks and critical skills to better serve their own business and the food and agriculture industry as a whole.
Registration costs and details will be available at uoguelph.ca/foodinstitute.
