28th International Sugar Organization Seminar

For this year’s seminar we have focused on the human side of our sector and striven to project relevant ideas and stories of those who made a difference for sugar but moreover for communities, growth and sustainable development. People are the heart of our industry and are the root of our competitiveness pyramid; any initiative within our ‘sugar family’ should have respect and empowerment at its core.

We cannot think of anyone better to contribute their personal best than Jonathan and Charlotte Kingsman, who have both excelled in their careers and showcase the best character and traits of what a sugar person stands for. With their trajectory they need little introduction and we are certain their special touch, their “Je ne sais quoi”, will contribute to this seminar’s success, complemented by their vast knowledge of the sugar world and its key stakeholders.

Simultaneous interpretation will be provided in English, French, German, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, and Turkish.
