The programme for the 7th IIR Conference on Sustainability and the Cold Chain is now available online at https://ior.org.uk/events/ICCC2022/iccc2022-programme. This ground-breaking event which is taking place online from 11 to 13 April, will feature over 50 presentations and three keynote speakers looking at new and innovative ways to tackle questions around sustainability and the cold chain. With a selection of varied and informative presentations, workshops and coffee lounges, delegates will get a unique opportunity to explore cold chain innovation, developments in refrigeration technology and design, and examine what is being done to build a sustainable cold chain to address key UN sustainable development goals.
In addition to a place at the conference, delegates will get the chance to access the online library of presentations on-demand, thus allowing participants to catch up on anything they may have missed until 31 December 2022. Using the online networking platform Gather.town, participants will be able to network and interact with fellow delegates in a similar way as in an in-person conference setting but from the convenience of their home or office, making ICCC2022 a truly global event!
