POSTPONED.

Update as at 13 March. We have made the difficult decision to postpone the Rethink event due to the magnitude of the unanticipated public health and safety issues posed by the escalating Covid-19 outbreaks and contagion.

Given the significant number of attendee cancellations (both personal and enforced travel bans), and based on the situation, the decision has been taken to move Rethink to a later date.

Until recently, we had been encouraged to continue with the event as planned. However, the outbreaks are escalating, and we believe as so many attending the conference are part of the food supply chain the responsible action is to postpone the event.

As you will imagine, this decision has not been taken lightly. As sustainability continues to be at the top of the industry’s agenda, we are working hard to look at our options going forwards and will keep you informed.

On behalf of all of us here at the Smithfield Club and the British Meat Processors Association (BMPA), thank you again for your understanding and continued support. 

Kind regards,

Rethink Team

We need to RETHINK what we know about meat and its contribution to climate change, because not everything we hear in the media and from the influential people we listen to is correct. This important conference supported by the Smithfield Forum will now take place in the autumn. https://rethinkforums.org/about/
