2011 EPIA Convention in Barcelona – Spain

The EPIA conference in Barcelona last November was a real success with a record attendance of more than 100 participants.

Professional development workshops, sales techniques role-playing, HACCP certification discussions and training, producer and supplier matchups using the concept of “speed dating”, discussions and ad hoc meetings among members kept all of you very busy throughout these few days.

Fortunately, we all had time for relaxing at night, starting with the welcoming open-bar cocktail party in the park of the hotel under the 17th century watch tower, followed the next night by the very interesting and fun team-building event “Treasure Hunt”, and the last night, but not the least energetic, a Bar Crawl through the some of the most interesting bars in Barcelona.

Finally, on Saturday morning, some members went to discover Gaudi’s masterpiece the “Sagrada Familia”.
