The Innovation Roadshow
Each year, the Innovation Roadshow highlights our best ideas in technical creativity, new flavor development and cost-saving technology, in addition to thought provoking and timely discussions from some of the brightest minds in the food and beverage industry. We’ll show you new and emerging trends taking place around the world, provide creative and inspirational ideas and demonstrate cost-saving products.
The Innovation Showcase
Innovation starts here, and with more than 70 food scientists, flavor chemists, color engineers, chefs and technicians worldwide, we’ve got a lot of great ideas to share with you. The Innovation Roadshow gives our talented staff the opportunity to explore new concepts, conduct research or work outside of their area of expertise. By doing so, they have the opportunity to take a 360 degree approach to identifying and truly developing an innovative concept of their own.
Technical Sessions
During the Innovation Showcase, be sure to schedule time for one of our Technical Sessions. Each session, presented by a member of David Michael’s technical group, focuses on technologies that can impact the way we formulate products in today’s marketplace.
Roadmap to the Roadshow
David Michael's Trendspotter, Victoria Vaynberger, will offer you a behind-the scenes look at the Innovation Showcase and the trends influencing this year's product innovations. Celebrating ten years of innovation, she'll look at how yesterday's Roadshow ideas became today's hottest new products and provide insight on how you can do the same with the innovations you'll experience in the Innovation Showcase.
Attendees are encouraged to join us for dinner on Tuesday, May 7th at Amada. The Innovation Roadshow Dinner has evolved into an experience of its own, combining timely food trends with a relaxed and casual setting perfect for seeing old friends and meeting new ones.
