As the pivotal event in the potato industry calendar, BP2021 brings together all the key players in one place. So it makes sense for a growing number of other potato-focused gatherings to be held at the same time and place.
Here’s some of the third-party events we already know about for 2019.
(As these are separately organised independent events, please direct any queries to the listed contact rather than BP2021 in the first instance).
