We took our class to a food convention in Paris and got to immerse ourselves in the Food and Beverage Industry as owners or people of interests. We got to meet professionals as they introduced their products and were to able to try some food that they prepared. In addition, there were companies like Clover and delivery apps that had their own booths. In comparison to my first food convention in Boston, I thought it was really similar and everyone was very enthusiastic in demonstrating their products.
