  Please join your friends, colleagues and peers as we celebrate
  "Excellence in the Food Industry"
  a bit differently this year!
  
  ----Tuesday 18th August----

  Awards to commence 6.00 pm 
  
  To be preceded by a SHORT NZIFST AGM from 5.15 pm

  We were going to have a fantastic gala event during our Congress but COVID19 has forced our annual Awards and Fellowships into the hybrid space - we have arranged for 6 physical locations across New Zealand where you can gather, network and enjoy light refreshments together before joining with the other locations via Zoom to celebrate all the award recipients for 2020.

  Award winners will be spread across the locations and they would very much appreciate having you there in-person to support them.

  We have reluctantly decided to ask for a small attendance fee of $25 towards costs because registrants who then do not turn up can be quite expensive for us.

  **** There is a bit of constitutional formality we must do - the evening will kick off at 5.15 pm with a short AGM for the Institute - come and hear what effect the cancelled Congress will have for us!

  The Locations:

  Auckland - Remuera Club, 27-33 Ohinerau Street, Remuera
  Hamilton - Wintec, Bill Gallagher Event Room 2
  Palmerston North - Copthorne Hotel, Fitzherbert Avenue
  Wellington - Copthorne Hotel Oriental Parade
  Christchurch - Matt Solutions, 20 Avenger Crescent, Wigram
  Dunedin - Kingsgate Hotel, 10 Smith Street

  CELEBRATING
