STM publisher Elsevier has announced that for the second year running an Elsevier Conference was honoured at the prestigious UK Conference Awards ceremony held annually in London.
Elsevier was awarded 'Mark of Excellence' in the Best New Product category for its 1st International Conference on Global Food Security, held September 29 - October 2, 2013 in Noordwijkerhout, the Netherlands. This landmark conference brought together more than 600 scientists, researchers, policy makers, technologists and industry representatives from over 65 countries to discuss a very daunting question we all face today: how to feed our growing global population? It sparked lively, sometimes controversial, debate and provided a robust scientific underpinning of a previously policy-led issue, and surpassed all expectations both in terms of numbers and, crucially, delegate experience.
Buoyed by the success of the first conference, plans and preparations for the 2nd International Conference on Global Food Security are already well underway, scheduled to take place at Cornell University, New York in 2015.
Last year Elsevier conference Planet Under Pressure was awarded the prize for Best New Product category.
The UK Conference Awards is now in its fifth year and is considered the event for the UK conference business to come together and recognise and celebrate the very best in the industry. The 2014 event welcomed a record attendance of over 750 industry professionals to reward success and innovation in the market.
