How can you respond to these trends and changes, and what opportunities are there in the sales channels of tomorrow? This engaging presentation will give you a fresh perspective on the sales channels of tomorrow.

11:15 - 12:00 hrs. | Cybersecurity
Digitisation is being embraced by the sector. At the same time, this poses significant challenges in the area of cybersecurity. This calls for cooperation and shared responsibility throughout the entire floriculture chain. Find out more during this session.

‘For many entrepreneurs, cybersecurity still seems like a distant concern, even though the risk of a hack is now greater than the risk of fire,’ says Bas Wevers, Chief Information Security Officer at Royal FloraHolland.
