The Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) is bringing back the GFSI Conference as an in-person event in 2022.
The conference will take place in Barcelona, Spain, Mar. 29–31 with the theme, “Delivering Impact for Safe Sustainable Food.”
GFSI collaborates across borders and barriers to help ensure safe food for everyone across the globe. The organization is a Coalition of Action from The Consumer Goods Forum (CGF), bringing together 38 retailers and manufacturers from across the CGF membership as well as an extended food safety community to oversee food safety standards for businesses.
Around the world, an estimated 600 million people—almost 1 in 10—fall ill after eating contaminated food each year and concerns over food safety have been exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. To tackle this, GFSI is addressing the challenges facing food safety systems in their supply chains and the markets they operate in and are helping to raise the food safety bar globally. Everyone has the right to access safe, nutritious, and nourishing food which is why GFSI’s work is critical to every community across the globe.
After two decades of development, GFSI is modernizing and accelerating. Thanks to the level of trust and credibility the organization has earned over the years, GFSI is now picking up the challenge to expand and strengthen its role, moving full speed ahead on its Race to the Top framework. This will allow the organization to collectively deliver more impact in pursuit of our shared vision of safe food for people everywhere.
The 2022 GFSI Conference will be brimming with learnings, inspiration, and support for those at the forefront of safe sustainable food. Every facet of the food safety ecosystem will have its turn in the spotlight through a series of inspirational keynotes, plenary sessions, expert panels, and breakouts, all of which will deep dive into the practical ways that food safety stakeholders can join together to deliver maximum impact.
The GFSI Conference will head to Singapore in 2023.
