With the Global Tomato Congress, we are aiming to repeat the success of our annual Global Berry Congress, delivering useful information and excellent networking via a high-energy, interactive multimedia show that’s positively brimming with ideas.
With informative and entertaining multimedia content available on three different stages located within a single networking and expo area, this is an event that’s designed to be fun, not just fruitful.
As a delegate, you’re free to come and go as you please: take a seat at our Headline Hub main stage, where you can get a clear idea of what’s happening in the international market and the trends likely to shape the tomato business in future; wander over to the Fresh Ideas stage, where experts from different areas of the business will focus on a range of more specialist topics; or grab a spot at the Launchpad stage, where our speakers’ invention and ingenuity will keep you up to date on the industry’s latest technological developments.
Global Tomato Congress is your event and we want you to get the very best out of it.
