Why should you attend? 

Aside from the above, just see what some of those attending last year had to say:

“I didn’t know what to expect from the Nutrition Futures conference, but after attending it, I believe every nutrition student should attend it at least once during their degree. The conference provides an excellent opportunity to meet other nutrition students, academics and industry professionals and to receive some valuable guidance on employability and careers.” 
Wendy Zaragoza 

“Hearing about all the different career paths from a variety of professionals was truly inspiring and made me become aware of all the career possibilities in the field of nutrition.” 
Christine Hodgson

"It was a great experience to hone my scientific communication and presentation skills by presenting my research at Nutrition Futures. Through networking with others who share my passion for nutrition, I was able to gain insights into the diverse fields of nutrition, broaden my career options, and understand the critical importance of nutrition in each respective area." 
Arisa Shimada 

"Nutrition Futures is an incredible opportunity to learn about the new research and careers in nutrition. It brings together passionate like-minded individuals, inspiring future nutritionists to create a healthier world through science, innovation, and collaboration." 
Laila Orsi-Mather
