An 'Upcycling workshop' will be part of the conference as well as the 'Culinary UPcycling' lunch presented by "Karmakitchen" on day two which will show how the main issue of the conference can be dealt with.
Prior to the regular conference on Sunday nov 2nd, afternoon, we offer a GreenEvents Europe pre-conference workshop: "Food & beverage at events".
