Views from our VIP audience

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.
Senior Brand Manager |  Unilever
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!
Healthy & Sustainable Diets Manager |  Tesco
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.
Head of Ingredients |  pladis
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.
Head of R&D and Innovation |  Baker & Baker
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.
Life Scientist |  Pepsico
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.
NPD Manager |  Britvic
