COMMITTEES AND PDGS Make Connections Based on Your Interest IAFP's Professional Development Group Meetings are Open to All! Be sure to participate in one or more of IAFP's Professional Development Group (PDG) meetings. These groups give food safety professionals the opportunity to be part of open and in-depth discussions in 27 topic areas related to keeping our food supply safe. Sharing your ideas and experiences in these meetings prior to IAFP 2021 will bring questions to the forefront and link your participation in these groups to the hundreds of presentations at the world's leading food safety conference. No matter your level of experience - student in food safety, novice food safety professional or seasoned expert - come ready to provide valuable input that benefits everyone in attendance. There is no fee to join our PDGs, and we welcome all perspectives on existing topics and issues to help others learn and share among their peers. Meetings are scheduled for June and will be held virtually. For a complete schedule of all PDG and Committee meetings, visit the IAFP 2021 website.
