In order to create a meeting for all potato professionals on the edge of a new potato season, Europatat organises its Congress every other year in Brussels, the capital of Europe, and every other year in a different European location.

Among other speakers, Marianne Borgen, Mayor of Oslo, Arne Ivar Sletnes, from the Norwegian Agricultural Cooperatives, Ingeborg Flones, CEO of HOFF SA, and Åsmund Bjertnæs, CEO of Bjernæs & Hoel, will also join the discussions.
