See you at the Asia Food & Beverage Summit
READERS, no doubt you’ve attended so many conferences and seminars on food and beverage, especially on the most timely topics for companies in ASEAN. It’s people like you, with your valuable knowledge, who make these events worth attending because you share your expertise whether as a presenter or a participant.
One of the upcoming conferences to consider this year is the Asia Food & Beverage Summit scheduled from 18-19 May 2015 at the Pullman Bangkok King Power Hotel in Thailand. Organized by Ringier Events together with Media Matter, this conference covers quite a wide range of interesting topics especially relevant to the region’s SMEs. It also takes place just before THAIFEX.
