The 8th annual FAB Conference was held earlier this year on May 23rd, 2018. The theme was A Taste of Tomorrow: Innovation in a Changing Market. The conference covered the growing demands of consumers and how China is paving the way on redefining how traditional businesses and retailers operate. To satisfy the customer from online to offline, companies who are thriving in the competitive landscape move at a fast pace by continuously innovating their products, supply chain, and business model. The increasing demand and rapid growth also led to food safety and compliance issues which has prompted regulators to impose changes. With consumers sensitive to food issues, companies were leveraging technology to improve traceability in the supply chain.
The conference comprised of 22 speakers, 4 executive panels, and keynotes. More than 120 industry leaders and professionals attended.
AmCham Shanghai also announced its inaugural Food, Agriculture & Beverage (FAB) Awards at the conference. FAB Awards aims to recognize innovation in food technology and the successful implementation of new business concepts, as well as industry pioneers who are leading the way in making a positive impact in a changing market.
