AAIC 2012

Forewords from the Chairman  

Feri Agustian Soleh  

Strengthening Asian Resources through Research and Business Convergence
for a Sustainable Aroma Industry

After the 2007 ISEO (International Seminar on Essential Oil) conference in Jakarta and 2009 ISEO conference in Bogor, West Java, the organization of the Indonesian international aroma industry conference will be upscaled by merging it into AAIC - Asian Aroma Ingredients Congress & Expo in 2012. AAIC is a consortium made up of flavor and fragrance-producing industrial countries in Asia, which mainly consists of China, India, Indonesia and Sri Lanka. AAIC is held biennially and hosted alternately among Asian countries.

Indonesia has been appointed to host the second AAIC, which will be on 13th-15th May 2012 at Grand Hyatt Hotel, Nusa Dua, Bali. AAIC2012 is a continuation of the first AAIC2010 that was held on 7th-9th May 2010 in New Delhi, India (with a total of 550 delegates). In 2014, the next AAIC conference will be held in Kunming, China with CHINAEASA (China Essential Oils, Aroma and Spices Trade Association) as the host.
