CONFERENCE SCHEDULE
The conference begins on Monday,
April 9, with the IAOM board of directors meeting and a Food Protection
Committee meeting. Committee meetings continue on Tuesday, April 10,
along with pre-conference registration
from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. The opening reception is that evening from 5:30-7 p.m. at
the Renaissance Waverly Hotel.
The Expo opens at 9:05 a.m. Wednesday with a ribbon cutting. There is unopposed expo time until noon, and the
silent auction also begins.
Product Showcases begin at 10 a.m.
on Wednesday in the Cobb Galleria and
continue in the morning on Thursday.
Eligible products include new products
and existing products that have new applications. The Product Showcase allows selected exhibiting companies to
promote their products directly from
their booths in the Expo hall. Those selected are given 10 minutes to discuss
their product while showing the product, a slideshow presentation, or anything else they can show within their
booth space.
Like last year, a Best of Show prize
will be awarded based on the votes of
product showcase attendees. Farris noted
that this year there was triple the number
of applications for the product showcase.
"We'll have the product showcase
passport again," she said. "In order to
be eligible for a chance to win a prize,
attendees have to get all stamps on the
passport from the product showcase
presenters."
Educational sessions begin at 1 p.m. on
Wednesday and include employee management, facility management, product
protection (including sanitation, food
SURWHFWLRQIRRGVDIHW\¿QLVKHGSURGXFW
testing, storage and transportation) and
technical operations (including technical aspects of raw product evaluation,
testing, storage and processing). Educational programming continues in the afternoon on Thursday, April 12, with two,
one-hour presentations: one focused on
how to manage regulatory inspections
