For any of you, who like me, are tired of hibernating to get away from our current sub-zero temperatures, snow storms, and icy conditions throughout the northern sections of the U.S.A., I have a suggestion as to how you can take a break from it all, enjoy some sunshine and warm temperatures, while absorbing a big dose of valuable business information delivered by a number of industry thought leaders. It'sVirgo Publishing's annual Focus on the Future Executive Conference!

This years' Focus on the Future is taking place next week ( January 20 to 23 ) and there are still a few attendee slots open. Why not spend a few days basking in the Scottsdale Arizona sunshine while absorbing industry trends information from such companies as Datamonitor, Mintel, General Mills, Euromonitor, Natural Marketing Institute and many others? In addition, Dr. Paulette Gaynor from CFSAN's Office of Food Additive Safety's Division of Biotechnology and GRAS Notice Review will be discussing the current status of the GRAS notification program.

To register for this once a year event, all you need to do is visit FocusOnTheFuture.net and reserve your spot in the sunshine next week.

Stay warm.
