Hello Hans,
This conference sounds very interesting. I am particularly interested in the
"pitfalls" you mentioned in your email. I wonder how I have contributed to
that and what I can be doing differently.
I am recently self- employed, working as a nutrition consultant and
international conferences are not longer a financial reality for me (no
more food industry big corporate continuing education budget now that I'm on
my own!).
Will there be any way to access summaries of the sessions online?
Best regards,
Carol Harrison, RD
Nutrition Consultant
