This year’s line-up includes two days of business networking, thousands of product launches, tastings, innovations and more than 35 keynotes.
The speakers include Andrew Walker, chief executive of EAT, Hannah Squirrel, customer and marketing director at Greggs and Shereen Ritchie, operations director at LEON.
This year a third theatre has been added, dedicated solely to serving up coffee shop keynotes. Among those presenting on this new stage are Penny Manuel, managing director of SOHO Coffee Co and Hannah McKay, head of food & beverages UK & Ireland at Caffé Nero, who highly recommends lunch! as a key “date for the diary every year!”
Cathy Port, head of category- sweet at Costa Coffee, said: “It’s great to meet with new and old suppliers at lunch!. I visit every year and always get to see new and different innovations – it has a brilliant vibe at ExCeL too!”
Event organiser Diversified Communications UK says to expect more headline reveals in the coming weeks.
