The Annual HACCP Conference is heading to Sydney in August and the three-day conference, held at Doltone House, Pyrmont, will explore the latest issues in food safety.

Interactive workshops from Advancing Food Safety will be followed by two days of educational talks and seminars from industry professionals including Steven Newton, MD at Newton Risk-Stream Management, who will forecast a global food pandemic and recommend actions to prevent it.

Ros Harvey, Founding Director of Sense T, will also discuss food traceability, safety and technology, drawing on her studies through the creation of the world’s first economy-wide intelligent sensor network.

Gary Smith, Director of Training, Improvement Solutions & Food Safety at SAI Global USA, will discuss the risks associated with allergens along the supply chain.

The conference includes the HACCP Awards, which recognises those who work tirelessly to ensure the safety of Australia’s food supply in four categories: Outstanding individual nominated by an agri-food industry company; Outstanding individual working as a registered food safety auditor; Outstanding company sub-categories: single site company; multi-site company; and the Ross Peters Memorial Award for excellence in food safety.

The winners will be announced at the HACCP Conference Gala Dinner and Awards Ceremony at Doltone House on Wednesday 27 August 2014.
