Foodie has put together a very exciting, never-been-done-before one-day summit this summer focusing on the future of food. Here‘s a glimpse of what we have planned:
THE BIG PICTURE
Presentations to understand both the global and local state of food supply and demand and its impact on what we eat now and how we will eat in the future
THE BIG GAMBLE
A moderated panel of international venture capitalists who invest in food technology will discuss what they see in our food‘s future and how they are bringing these concepts to reality
MORNING BREAK

Foodie‘s own editor-in-chief, Alicia Walker, will host a panel of who‘s who in Hong Kong's dining scene to talk about what‘s happening now and what we can look forward to in the future
