The Australian Food Science and Technology Convention and Australian Microbiology Conference
The Australian Institute of Food Science and Technology (AIFST) Convention will be held in 2015 in conjunction with the 15th Australian Microbiology Conference.

- Food retailing - push or pull?
- Omics, including the application of omics technology to the food industry and the genomics of taste
- Vulnerable populations - future directions
- Food defence

New to the convention program this year is the Food Entrepreneur - Business Essentials Workshop, a one-day navigation through the essentials of developing a sustainable food business.
