Hear from past attendees
Food Matters Live is the Mount Olympus of culinary innovation. We did more business in an hour at Food Matters Live than we'd regularly do in a month.

I had a brilliant few days at Food Matters Live. I got so much insight from attending some fantastic industry roundtables, discussing consumer wants and needs and how to develop new products to support this.
)
We found the sessions very insightful, learnt about some new techniques that are close to our hearts as innovators – I found it inspiring and it was helpful as a networking opportunity also.

I loved the event. Of particular note was the interactive tasting sessions – the various teams were interesting, knowledgeable and very open to feedback. Looking forward to future events!

Food Matters Live is a great event to keep on track with the latest and future of the food industry. Friendly and relaxing format for quality networking.
I thought the day was well organised, the venue was nice and spacious and was an excellent choice. The pre-organisation to allocate time slots was a great initiative as I was able to see everything there.

It was great to attend the event last week, there was a good range of talks on - covering the in the spotlight topics and well organised.

This was my first Tastes of Better event, and I loved it! I was really impressed by the quality of the sessions, loved hearing trends and insights from different actors in the industry, and enjoyed very much the info (the food and drinks!) provided during the tasting session.

I loved attending Food Matters Live London. As an academic who works closely with the food industry, I often find myself at highly technical, data-heavy conferences so Food Matters Live was a refreshing change. It offered valuable insight into the broader challenges and opportunities shaping the sector, which has already helped me rethink and refine my research pipeline.
Thank you very much for having me present at Food Matters Live. I was only able to attend the second day unfortunately, but must say that there were some incredibly insightful discussions and it was great to connect with so many likeminded people.
)
It was fantastic to be part of such an engaging conversation and to hear a range of perspectives on this evolving area. From a food development point of view, there is clearly a growing level of interest and momentum.

Events like these are a great reminder of how powerful collaboration between researchers and industry can be in driving meaningful change.
