SIAL Paris is celebrating its 60th anniversary this year and organizers say this year’s event will be bigger and better.
“SIAL Paris represents 60 years of innovation and conviviality dedicated to the agri-food business,” says Audren Ashworth, SIAL Paris Director. “We are working to create an anniversary edition that is even more authentic and lively, with a host of new features. For example, we are strengthening the Start-up centre, creating a new activity about product innovation experience, reorganising the exhibition to make it easier to visit, and launching ambitious summits on key issues in the sector.”
Nicolas Trentesaux, SIAL managing director says SIAL Paris 2024 is a historic event and will look to address the major food challenges of the future.
“SIAL Paris returns in 2024 with a very optimistic outlook on food, despite a world that has been somewhat rocked by economic, political and societal crises. We must all work together to maintain a medium-term course that will make it possible to meet the major food challenges of the next 30 years.”
The five-day long show takes place October 19 -23 in Paris, France. The exhibition will feature more than 7,500 exhbitors representing more than 205 countries. Close to 300,000 people are expected to attend.
