The Chocovision conference will take place from June 17-19, 2014 in Davos, Switzerland with the theme “FAST FORWARD. From Cocoa to Chocolate – Inspiration. Innovation. Impact.”
Speed is also of the essence when it comes to closing the existing gaps in the cocoa supply chain and in rejuvenating the cocoa sector, according to the organisers, and the event aims to explore the challenges of the global cocoa and chocolate industry, and how to successfully deal with them.
