SEMMARIS started the Entretiens de Rungis conferences in 2006. A half-day symposium positioned towards the end of September, this event provides a good opportunity to meet people and exchange ideas on the major issues facing our product sectors and customers. The programme includes speeches, round tables and open floor sessions, with a survey conducted for the event to provide the thread as well as food for thought and reactions. About 150 trade professionals attend each edition.
