Experts from across the culinary world will discuss ‘food revolution’ at the 2017 edition of the Global Restaurant Investment Forum (GRIF) from April 10-12.
They will also discuss investment, trends, challenges and opportunities in the dynamic F&B industry.
Creating a ‘food culture’ and ‘redefining F&B’ will also be among the topics at this year’s GRIF, an annual networking and intelligence event for the international restaurant and hospitality community.
More than 300 industry professionals are expected to attend the event as experts will assess the global landscape for growth, analyse consumer behaviour and review the investment and behavioural trends impacting the business of F&B.
Bench Events managing director, Middle East Jennifer Pettinger-Haines and organiser of GRIF said: “Our roster of expert speakers is set to deep dive into the issues at the heart of the international restaurant industry, debating current trends with a view to forecasting the future potential of this exciting, evolving sector”.
Ahead of the event, FrenchFood Capital founder Laurent Plantier, who is speaking at GRIF on the session ‘Adding Value as an Investor’, said: “Today, we don’t eat the same way we used to do and tomorrow we won’t eat the same way we do today. It’s why it can be said that we are facing a ‘Food Revolution’.
“There are three drivers behind this. Firstly, the world is facing limited resources for a fundamental requirement - by 2050, more than nine billion people will need to eat every day. Secondly, the food journey must adapt to new lifestyles, and thirdly, there is an ever-increasing desire to eat better”.
The 2017 edition of the forum will be held the Fairmont on the Palm Jumeirah in Dubai, UAE.
