ABOUT THE EVENT

The International Sugar Organization (ISO), the only world forum designed to exchange different points of view among the main producer and consumer countries at governmental level, in partnership with DATAGRO, one of the chief world consulting companies on sugar and ethanol, have been organizing the ISO/DATAGRO NEW YORK SUGAR CONFERENCE. The event has become traditional in the sugar calendar.

This year the 7th ISO / DATAGRO NEW YORK SUGAR CONFERENCE happens again at the Starlight Roof of the elegant Waldorf Astoria hotel in New York - U.S.A.

In the last edition, the ISO/DATAGRO NEW YORK SUGAR CONFERENCE gathered more than 327 participants from 24 countries, being a landmark as well as a technical reference to partakers of the New York Sugar Dinner.
