Events

Fedima organises two main events:

An Annual Meeting which is only open to members and is organised every year. It revolves around a statutory General Assembly and a business session with inspirational speakers.
A Symposium which is open for members and wider audience. The Symposium is organised every two years in Brussels.

The General Assembly has steadily grown towards a unique opportunity to meet colleagues within the industry. Fedima has invested more time and effort in building an attractive business session on a relevant topic. Past themes have been:

environmental sustainability
bread promotion campaigns
innovation in traditional products
