About the
2021 Summit
The Africa Food Safety & Quality Summit 2021 – the first edition of the African-focused international food safety, quality and compliance conference and expo took place in the middle of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Utilising the latest digital technologies, the Summit delivered more than could be imagined, bringing together more than 1300 registered delegates from more than 70 countries from Africa and beyond to discover the latest technologies, trends and practices to boost food safety and quality in Africa.
Despite being held virtually, the Summit’s digital platform enabled delegates to have live virtual meetings and to visit the virtual booths set up by sponsors of the event – ensuring that networking and discovery went on seamlessly from the comfort of the delegates’ workplaces or homes, thereby breaking physical barriers that seemed insurmountable just a year into the pandemic.
