Think global. Win local!
Hosted by Potato Council, World Potato Congress (WPC) is a 'must attend' event for anyone involved with the potato supply chain from producers to policy makers.
It gives you the chance to hear expert speakers on issues that really matter and to meet like-minded people from every part of the potato industry and every part of the world. People who want to share ideas to improve potato production and demand.
That's why the 2012 World Potato Congress is titled 'Think global. Win local' - focusing on key global issues, but also translating them into practical actions relevant wherever potatoes are produced or consumed.
Watch a leading Scottish grower talking about why he's going to WPC 2012!
Potato Council's inaugural webinar - Slides PDF (3MB) and audio file to follow (MB) - addressing the utilisation of the sequencing of the potato genome - more discussion of this topic at WPC 2012 in May, by Dr Glenn Bryan, James Hutton Institute.
And all this is happening in one of the world's most amazing Congress cities, Edinburgh. Famous for its amazing scenery, culture and welcome.
We look forward to seeing you there!
