Kakao Konek, what could be the most attended and
well-acclaimed convention of all the stakeholders in the Cocoa industry, brings
together exciting side events for its entire duration. This milestone is slated
to run from November 21, 2012 to November 23, 2012.
On the first day, CIDAMI (Cacao Industry Development
Association of Mindanao, Inc.) will open the event with an opening address from
President Charita Puentespina at the Apo View Hotel Business Function. A 3-day exhibit of Cocoa products, collaterals and sponsors will commence there.
All throughout the event, the organizers will hold several
B2B matching mini-events, where various actors in the cocoa value chain can
meet over a 2-day period. Dedicated locations for the B2B Matching will be
provided and facilitators will get to interact with buyers, sellers, distributors
and other key industry players.
On the second day, Kakao Konek launches “Kakao Kulinarya”
and “Sikwatehan sa Barrio”. The former is a cocoa-based culinary competition
and showcase aimed at challenging our local talent to riase the standards of
culinary and hospitality service excellence. The chocolate carving contest and
cocktail concoction competitions will serve as its main attractions. This will
run from 10AM to 6PM in the Abreeza Mall activity center. “Sikwatehan sa
Barrio”, on the other hand, is an engaging networking and gala night where
delegates make the most of the opportunity to meet new people while expanding
their business and social network. This special networking event will also
commence at Abreeza Mall activity center, after Kakao Kulinarya.
Kakao Konek caps off this exciting 3-day affair with Kakao
Farm Tours, an entertaining and adventure-filled way to learn and appreciate
cocoa farming techniques.
