Today’s consumers are exposed to a variety of health and nutrition messages and influences at the same time as being faced with having to choose among an increasingly wide array of different foods. They need guidance.

The Danone Institute of Canada (DIC) is proud to present at the Agora Nutrition of SIAL Montréal, its first symposium open to the public. This year’s theme is « Nutrition Coaching: New Challenges, New Approaches ». Four high profile speakers will share their professional experience and their vision on the topic to help participants gain a better understanding of the current situation and explore concrete, successful examples so that they can leave with a clear idea of opportunities open to them.

The DIC is a non-profit organization whose mission is to contribute to improved health through better nutrition by positively influencing the nutrition behaviours of the greater public. For more information, click here
