This cooperation is leading to both an improved level of articles in Food Engineering and one of the best conference programs we’ve had in a decade. Take a look at page 20 in this issue for the full conference program coming up April 6-9 in Clearwater Beach, Florida. You will see that we have put together one of the most intriguing line-ups of speakers since we started producing conferences back in the ‘90s. This year’s speakers include top engineering and operations directors from companies such as Campbell Soup, General Mills, Sara Lee and Tropicana to name a few.
