Four Reasons You NEED to be at Speciality & Fine Food Fair
The Speciality & Fine Food Fair, taking place on 10-11 September at Olympia London, is an absolute must for anyone in the food and drink industry, and this year promises to be more exciting than ever. Celebrating its 25th anniversary this year, this year’s event will be packed with new experiences, tastes and trends. It’s the ultimate stage for up-and-coming and established brands to strut their stuff, schmooze with industry bigwigs and stay ahead of the curve.
Here are four key reasons why you should take part in this year’s Fair.
Secure a Spot in the Start-Up Village
For businesses launched within the last two years, the Start-Up Village offers a unique opportunity to make a big impression. As the highlight of Speciality & Fine Food Fair, this area allows new suppliers to display their brands and engage with influential buyers and business owners, setting the stage for valuable connections and growth.
Pitch Live to Ocado
This year’s exhibitors can vie for a chance to participate in Pitch Live, in partnership with IND!E and Ocado. Selected food and drink brands will pitch to a panel of judges, including Ocado’s senior buyers. This is a fantastic opportunity to secure a listing with the online grocery giant and gain significant exposure.
Meet Farm Retailers from Across the UK
The Fair will also host the Farm Retail Association for a special event featuring the association’s new branding. With patron Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall in attendance, this gathering highlights the close ties between the farm retail community and the world of speciality food, offering exhibitors the chance to connect with these key stakeholders.
Connect with the Artisan Food & Drink Community
Exhibiting at the Fair provides unparalleled networking opportunities. Engage with leading buyers from various sectors and connect with fellow producers and entrepreneurs. The event fosters a supportive community, making it the ideal place to build relationships and exchange ideas within the speciality food industry.
As we mark a quarter century of success, join us in celebrating the vibrant and innovative spirit that defines Speciality & Fine Food Fair. This year’s event promises new features, tasting stations, and numerous opportunities to learn and grow.
