The contacts established at the event translate into effective business relations – emphasizes Marek Bielski. – The second event will certainly be equally fruitful and satisfying.

The organizers invite meat producers who are interested in expanding their sales network to include a modern channel to participate in the event.  - We will also be pleased to welcome people who already cooperate with the networks;  they will also find a lot of interesting and valuable content during this meeting.
