We are excited to announce that registration for the 2023 International Peanut Forum is OPEN! We are looking forward to bringing the world’s peanut industry together again at the International Peanut Forum (IPF) in Lisbon, Portugal during 26-28 April, 2023.

The IPF provides an ideal opportunity to network and conduct business with current and potential customers, as well as a platform to discuss issues and opportunities for the peanut industry with farmers, shellers, exporters, brokers, dealers, manufacturers and service suppliers from around the world. The IPF theme for 2023 is 'Connecting the Peanut World' and the conference program will cover key areas of interest to all segments of the peanut supply chain, including research updates, market trends and new product development, and the all important supply and demand panels.

The 2023 IPF will take place at the Sheraton Lisboa Hotel & Spa, Lisbon. The event will open on the afternoon of Wednesday 26 April and close after lunch on Friday 28 April, with morning conference sessions held on 27 and 28 April and afternoons free for individual business meetings. Networking opportunities in the exhibition area will take place during all coffee breaks and during the evening receptions on 26 and 27 April.

Registration is open. You may register one or multiple attendees, book a table-top exhibit, a full or half page advertisement in the online program brochure or sign up for your spouse/partner to attend the evening receptions through our online registration site.

Veerle is an expert in sustainability and marketing and has over 25 years of experience in launching brands, products and offering solutions to meet consumer needs especially around healthy and sustainable foods. The four conference sessions will focus on: Sustainability - Voices from Each Step of the Supply Chain; Getting Inside Consumers' Heads to Quieten the Noise of Price - Nutrition, Messaging, Niche Products and Other Consumption Drivers; Feeding the World - It's Both a Cause and a Business Opportunity; and The Ever-Popular Peanut Supply Snapshot from Key Origins (Argentina, Brazil, China, India, Nicaragua, South Africa and the USA).

There are plenty of sponsorship opportunities for those companies wishing to promote their brand, products or services as well as exhibition and advertising opportunities. Sponsorships have sold quickly for this popular event but there's still time to take one up to promote your business to the global peanut industry
