Food Protection Trends - July 2010 - 400
from your president
reetings to all! We are wrapping up the Memorial Day holiday here in the U.S., the three-day weekend that officially kicks off summer. I am fortunate enough to work for a company that gives an extra day off to make it a four-day weekend. And boy, have I taken advantage of the time! There are all sorts of festivities to help with the annual summer kick-off: baseball games (professional and kids), new blockbuster movie releases, unbelievable sales at retail shops, reduced entry fees at amusement parks, and the opening of the local pool, just to name a few. Throw in a few backyard barbeques with friends and family and there goes the weekend! While I was enjoying these activities during this holiday weekend, I observed that if there is a forum for people to gather, eat, drink and be merry, they will come. In fact, every event that I attended this weekend was busy, in spite of the economy. It seems that everybody welcomes a forum that helps them meet the basic needs of food, drink and human interaction. It sort of reminds me of the line from the Kevin Costner baseball movie, Field of Dreams: “If you build it, he (they) will come.” I found myself relating that observation to IAFP and our mission statement: “To provide food safety professionals worldwide with a forum to exchange information on protecting the food supply” (italics mine). Throughout the year, IAFP and its affiliates provide a number of forums for the exchange of information at the local, state, national and international levels. I have been honored to be invited to many of the affiliate meetings in the U.S. and abroad, as well as have had the privilege to represent IAFP at

many of its international meetings. Regardless of where the meeting is held, I have observed that if there is a forum for exchanging information on food protection, people will attend. As I mentioned last year in my September column, IAFP had a successful 2009 Annual Meeting in terms of attendance and participation. Simply put, we did not experience the decrease in attendance that many other meetings are experiencing in these tough economic times. People need a forum that brings them together to talk about and learn
about the recent developments in food protection, especially since the science and policy continue to change so quickly. By the time you read this month’s Food Protection Trends, the Sixth European Symposium on Food Safety will be finished and the final arrangements and preparation for the 2010 IAFP Annual Meeting will be close to completion. However, as I write this column, preparations for both meetings are in full swing. We try to predict and plan for the success of all IAFP meetings by looking at past meeting registration and meeting sponsorship, and at press time, I am happy to report that the numbers for these 2010 meetings are strong. For example, two weeks prior to last year’s Fifth European meeting, registration stood at 169; this year, that number is 209 for the Sixth European meeting to be held in Dublin. Many would-be registrants have voiced concern about the recurring Icelandic volcanic eruptions and their potential impact on travel, holding off on registering for the symposium. Even so, we are hoping for a total registration of 250 to 265 attendees compared to 215 last year. However, sponsorship sales for the meeting have reached the budgeted amount, which is very positive in light of the depressed European economy. Similarly, registration numbers for the 2010 IAFP Annual Meeting in Anaheim, CA, August 1–4, are well ahead of last year at the same time prior: 508 registrants for the 2010 meeting compared with 393 in 2009, up from 406 registrants in 2008 counted at 10 weeks prior to the meeting start date. We expect these numbers to rise, especially since a fair number of attendees typically
