Events around the conference

The International Blackcurrant Conference 2018 is a wonderful opportunity to promote blackcurrants to the public. It is a comprehensive happening which lasts over more than three months until the conference in June. Among the events, there are:

• a culinary competition for chefs, organized within the New Product Development Unit of the IBA
• the second international blackcurrant product competition
• communication for the general public, partnerships with students and young professionals (Olympiades des Mètiers…).

2nd blackcurrant products competition

We organize the second edition of the international blackcurrant products competition in close partnership with the ESA of Angers (University of Agriculture). The ESA will provide expertise in terms of sensorial analysis. We also wish to award a prize for the winners of the competition.

You are all welcome to join in these events, whether it is directly or as our partner, or simply by sharing our information within your network.

We are looking forward to meeting you in Angers in June!
