Abstract Submission Categories:

Research
Submissions in this category focus on original research that was conducted within the last three years and/or research that has yet to be presented. Research may be related to food handling habits, beliefs, perceptions, or strategies as well as unique or successful tactics for reaching students, consumers, or food handlers with fundamental food safety practices. Research on microbiological concepts and consumer trends, as well as lessons learned from research on other public health initiatives, are also welcomed in this category.

Food Safety Programs or Campaigns in Action
Submissions in this category focus on effective food safety campaigns (marketing, communications, etc.) or programs (trainings, engagements, etc.). Presentations may include lessons learned in implementation, and highlight implementation suggestions and practical application for attendees. Campaigns or programs may be food safety related or reflective of a similar public health challenge that relies on behavior change for impact (i.e., stop smoking campaigns, etc.). Presentations may also focus on best practices for developing public health or food safety-related campaigns and programs.

Interactive Presentations, Demos, and Experiences

If you have a need for an engaging discussion to solve a problem, consider submitting an idea for discussion in this format.
