2008 ROCKY MOUNTAIN FOOD SAFETY
CONFERENCE
TUESDAY, MAY 6TH & WEDNESDAY, MAY
7TH
at
The Wildlife Experience in Parker, CO
Established in 1972, the
Rocky Mountain Food Safety Conference has become the premier food safety
conference of the Rocky Mountain region and beyond. Because the quality of
the Rocky Mountain Food Safety Conference is so widely recognized, we planned
and conducted the entire food track of the National Environmental Health
Association’s annual conference in Denver, Colorado in the year 2000.
Sponsored by several government agencies and private companies the conference
brings together professionals from the food industry and the food safety
community, providing a unique annual opportunity for updates, networking, and
new ideas. National and local experts present information and views on
current issues, problems, and developments, and conference participants gain
an updated, broader view of the field and their role in securing and
protecting a safe food supply.
Attendees include a wide range of food safety professionals, with expertise
and perspectives including marketing, education, regulation and enforcement,
and research. Specifically this includes food service managers,
restaurateurs, chefs, retail managers, public health officials, laboratory
professionals, food processors, students, health educators, quality assurance
directors, cooperative extension personnel, and representatives from state
and federal agencies with food safety education, training, and regulation
responsibilities.
The conference provides an opportunity for those with different food safety
responsibilities to learn, network, and see others’ perspectives. The
objectives are for participants to:
- gain an understanding of current food safety developments and trends,
- learn of new food safety-related technologies,
- meet and dialogue with others in the field, and
- gain new ideas for solving problems.
Conference presentations are at a level appropriate for professionals with
varying degrees of expertise in a variety of food safety fields. Speakers
moderate the technical components of their presentations so the audience as a
whole gains useful “take home” messages. While exhibitors with product
displays and information are an integral part of the conference, conference
presentations are not a podium for promoting or endorsing products.
Food safety is a diverse field with many interacting components. The Rocky
Mountain Food Safety Conference brings together national experts and food
safety professionals in a neutral, educational setting that imparts
information, stimulates dialogue, and fosters cooperation and innovation.
