English Apples and Pears Ltd are delighted to announce that they have been invited to organise Prognosfruit 2008 in England. Prognosfruit is held annually in Europe and is the world’s leading conference for the apple and pear industries.
The 2008 event will take place on Friday 8th August in Kent at the Ashford International Hotel and will be followed by a Gala Dinner at Leeds Castle. There will be a reception on the previous evening at Godinton House, near Ashford and on Saturday 9th August there will be a series of technical visits for delegates. A programme for partners is also being arranged.
The programme for the conference is being finalised but it will feature speakers on important topical subjects as well as the publication of the first European crop estimates for the 2008/09 season and a review of the 2008 southern hemisphere season. A website is already operating at www.prognosfruit2008.co.uk which will be updated as the programme is finalised and which will enable delegates to register for the Conference.
