	Food Safety and Quality professionals are subject matter experts in their field of study. They are also represented as the minority in the food industry. Most associates in the food industry are business, finance or marketing experts who are intimidated by those who work in the various fields of food science, many times speaking different languages.
It is important for those working in food science to learn the business language that will allow for appropriate funding of programs and initiatives that will ensure safe and wholesome food for the customers in which these companies serve. This symposium is designed to take the scientific language of food safety and quality and translate it into business speak that the majority of business, finance and marketing associates will understand.
