February 9th & 10th 2015THE AGENDA FOR THE FUTURE THE AGENDA FOR THE FUTURE

THERE IS NO TIME TO WASTE!

Living together, now and in the future. In 2050, the world population will reach 9 billion people. This means that we need to make changes now, in order to be ready tomorrow!

For this reason, we must find new ways to keep the world liveable for everyone, even then. To underline global problems even more, trans-national cooperation is a necessity.

In order to create awareness and come up with sustainable solutions, we would like to bring ‘The Agenda for the Future’ to the attention, consisting of seven global topics. This will be the overall theme of Food Executive Europe.

You can register for Food Executive Europe via www.foodexecutive.eu. The registration fee for FXE is € 1.250,- per person.

WHY WHATWe, as people and as hospitality industry, have a responsibility. We should be aware of the influence that we have on this planet and what the consequences of our actions are. What role does the hospitality industry play in this and what can we, as an industry, do? We believe that hospitality professionals can learn from each other by exchanging knowledge and information, by connecting with others, by expanding their professional network and by being inspired. FXE provides a platform for networks, associations and professionals in the hospitality industry, working together towards a more sustainable world!

FXE is a truly inspiring event for every hospitality professional who believes in the added value of networking and knowledge sharing. Someone who is wil-ling to step out of his comfort zone to experience innovations and business opportunities from other segments of hospitality. The two day program con-tains various keynote speakers, workshops and best practices, an inspiring culinary component, an Experience Center showcasing industry innovati-ons, the opportunity for Talent Talks with 150 top talents from the European Hotel Management Schools, and plenty of opportunities for networking.

WHEREWe invite you to Maastricht, a truly Euro-pean city with a hospitable character. Whatever way one sees Maastricht, one thing is indisputable: it is a city with a vigorously European outlook that promotes itself as a nexus of lifestyle, knowledge, gastronomy and culture.
