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 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.
