Growing Your Food and Drink Business

Networking Lunch

12.00pm – 1.00pm
Start the afternoon by joining us for a relaxed Networking Lunch, open to all attendees from both the morning and afternoon sessions. It’s a great chance to meet fellow entrepreneurs in the food and drink scene, share experiences, and make valuable connections before diving into the workshop.

Afternoon Workshop: Growing Your Food and Drink Business

1.00pm – 4.00pm

If your food or drink business is already off the ground and you're thinking about what’s next, this session is for you.

In this workshop, we’ll help you take a step back and look at the bigger picture, where your business is heading and how to get there.

You’ll work on developing a clear three-year vision and explore the key areas that can drive sustainable growth, such as:

• Investing in your team, production capacity, and technology
• Exploring new markets and sales channels, including Amazon, export opportunities, and trade shows
• Building a roadmap for growth with hands-on tools and real-world case studies from fellow food and drink businesses

You’ll leave with fresh ideas, a more structured approach to scaling up, and the confidence to take your next big steps, whether that’s expanding your reach, improving your operations, or strengthening your brand.
