WIFT Student Night 2026

Join us for our annual student night as we award student scholarships to deserving Undergraduate and Graduate students in Food Science, Food Technology, Food Engineering, and other related fields.

This year, we are thrilled to have Kerry host us at their facility. Their team will provide a keynote look into the latest industry trends, complemented by interactive facility tours and demonstrations of the cutting-edge technologies shaping the global food landscape. The evening will also offer a great opportunity for students and professionals to connect. While this is an alcohol-free event, a variety of refreshing non-alcoholic beverages will be provided. A highlight of the night will be the presentation of scholarships, made possible by the incredible generosity of our community and the success of our annual golf outing.

This will prove to be an exciting night for all to celebrate the future leaders of the food industry.
