FAQs

What's included in the VIP package?

As a VIP , you’ll have access to the insights and trends sessions of your choice,  Tastes of Better showcases, priority booking for the NPD Discovery Talks over the course of the two days, access to the NPD Discovery Zone, and a networking lunch.

Do I need to pay for a VIP pass?

We are pleased to welcome VIPs as our valued guests. To cover processing and related costs, a small fee applies: £45 for a one-day pass and £60 for a two-day pass. This year, we are proud to support The Felix Project, donating 10% of this fee to aid their vital work in tackling food poverty.

Can I attend one day only, or do I need to attend both days?

We encourage our VIPs to attend both days to take full advantage of the exclusive benefits available, including expert-led content, ingredient showcases, networking opportunities, and NPD Discovery Talks. However, we understand that it’s not always possible to commit to both days. That’s why we offer the flexibility of a one-day pass alongside the full two-day VIP experience, so you can choose what works best for you.
