“I loved that it was a blend of manufacturing and food safety/quality topics. I have always been a very operations-minded QA person so I enjoyed that this summit covered both. The speakers had impressive qualifications and were engaging. Most of the session topics were of interest and applicable to me. The time set aside for networking between sessions was a great opportunity to get to talk to people you would not normally get exposed to and share experiences.
