NNF Conference 2012 

Registration to the conference is prolonged to the 15th of October through this link

The Nordic Council of Ministers' programme "New Nordic Food II” is hosting a conference on 6 and 7 November, with the opportunity for a study tour the day before. The theme of the conference is Local, nutritious, delicious. Since Norway holds the Presidency in 2012, the conference is being held in Oslo, in the newly opened Food Hall in the centre of the city. The conference has three themes, two of which are a follow up from last year's conference. This year's themes are; Children and Food, Public Foodscapes, and Food and Nutrition.

Communication and networking are key words for the New Nordic Food II’s programme. The conference is a meeting place for project managers and other players who work with development and communication about food and food culture in the Nordic Region.

The conference will be held in the newly opened, creative Vulkan area near Akerselva in Oslo. The Vulkan profiles food, food policies, debate, creative companies and environments, and the newly renovated Food Hall will open in October. This will be a classic market hall full of Norwegian produce and other quality food products. The Food Hall will also be a showcase for Nordic food culture. The Food Hall and the mixed-use venue, the Factory, will be the key sites for the NNF conference, both for the professional content and as an arena for social meeting, a contact area and restaurants. Next to the Factory is the new Scandic Vulkan Hotel, which will also be part of the conference.

Conference fee (DKK 3000), dinner (DKK 500) and ac-commodation costs are stated on the registration site.
