The speakers from this edition are:

- Prof.Dr.ir. Frédéric Leroy, Research Group of Industrial Microbiology and Food Biotechnology, Vrije Universiteit Brussels: “Mass media discourses on health and disease in the attention economy.

Meat is becoming a pharmakon: from unquestioned health food to poison and
scapegoat.”

− Dr.Lic. Philippe Houdart, Director crisis prevention and management, Belgian Food Safety Agency: “crisis management and/versus crisis communication in times of a clickbaits focused media”.

− Ir. Joris Coenen, marketing officer BMO: long-term strategic trends in world meat markets.

− Round Table discussion with the 3 speakers

Moderator: René Maillard, Manager Belgian Meat Office,

The Belgian Meat Office coordinates pork and beef export activities. This meat export agency was founded in 2003 under the Flemish Centre for Agricultural and Fisheries Marketing (VLAM) umbrella.
