When
09 November 2020
Where
Location: The COVID-19 pandemic meant a physical conference in Bangkok was no longer possible. The 5th Global Conference was virtual and CONNECTED.
Summary
The Micronutrient Forum 5th Global Conference covered the broad spectrum of micronutrients–research, efficacy and safety, implementation, policy, and creation of an enabling environment. In addition, the conference explored how micronutrients might be optimized and protected within food systems. The Micronutrient Forum strove to ensure greater participation from the agriculture, manufacturing, processing and distribution, retail, and culinary sectors to widen the conversation and drive multi-sectoral innovation towards sustainable solutions.
CONNECTED meant both the digital nature of the event and the chance to collaborate and connect on the conference digital platform. Programming included:
A combination of live and on-demand sessions
Live, virtual opening ceremony on November 9, 2020
Conference programming delivered over a longer period of time
Opportunities for virtual interaction among delegates, sponsors and speakers
Live Q&As with speakers
Facilitated discussions
Strong regional Asian programming that honors the work that our Local Organizing Committee prepared when the conference was planned for Bangkok
