About GFSI Conference
Global food safety conference focusing on international trade standards and compliance in the food industry.
GFSI Conference 2027
The GFSI Conference runs 8–11 March 2027 in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
GFSI — the Global Food Safety Initiative, a coalition organised under the Consumer Goods Forum — sets the benchmarking requirements that food safety certification schemes are measured against. Its annual conference is where the food safety world meets across the whole chain: retailers, manufacturers, certification bodies, regulators and standards owners in one room.
The conference rotates globally — the 2026 event was held in Vancouver — and functions as the annual reference point for where food safety certification and regulation are heading. A specific venue has not yet been named.
Key Topics
- Food safety and certification
- GFSI benchmarking
- Food supply chain assurance
- Food regulation and standards
- Retail and manufacturing food safety
