We will attend the seminar in Chicago this year—these seminars invite retail food program managers, standardization officers, regulators, academia, and industry professionals to learn about various topics, including food safety, general environmental health, private wastewater, private water, and issues pertinent to both industry and academia. We are looking forward to speaking at the event and networking with attendees!
