Foodie has put together a very exciting, never-been-done-before one-day summit this summer focusing on the future of food. Here‘s a glimpse of what we have planned:

THE BIG PICTURE

Presentations to understand both the global and local state of food supply and demand and its impact on what we eat now and how we will eat in the future

THE BIG GAMBLE

A moderated panel of international venture capitalists who invest in food technology will discuss what they see in our food‘s future and how they are bringing these concepts to reality

DINING IN 2020

Presentations by CBRE, the world’s largest real estate services provider, and The Hong Kong Polytechnic University‘s School of Hotel & Tourism Management will shed light on what‘s driving dining choices and restaurant trends both overseas and in Hong Kong

Foodie‘s own editor-in-chief, Alicia Walker, will host a panel of who‘s who in Hong Kong’s dining scene to talk about what‘s happening now and what we can look forward to in the future
