‘PURSUIT OF GROWTH’

SAMW ANNUAL CONFERENCE AND DINNER DANCE

SATURDAY, APRIL 28, MARRIOTT HOTEL, GLASGOW

After a year of economic downturn and record prices for livestock and other inputs, it’s time to explore how to improve our situation going forward.  To address this challenge, SAMW has selected ‘Pursuit of Growth’ as this year’s conference theme and invited four top level speakers to examine a compelling range of major Scottish, UK, EU and global solutions.

Speakers:

George Lyon, Member of the European Parliament Agriculture Committee

Ray Jones, Chairman of Scotland Food and Drink

Mark Thomson, Kantar Worldpanel

Jean-Luc Meriaux, Secretary General of UECBV

There will also be ample opportunities for members and guests to ask questions and voice opinions on what the ‘Pursuit of Growth’ means for our industry.

The conference, which runs from 9.45am to lunch, will be followed by SAMW traditional annual dinner and dance, starting at 7pm

The venue, which is the same as in 2011, is the Marriott Hotel, Glasgow.
