- More than 13,500 experts from across the food, health and nutrition sectors attended Food Matters Live 2016
The London-based event that took place from 17th to 19th November and hosted 600 exhibitors from all over the world, all showcasing the latest innovations in food, health and nutrition through a range of interactive displays, talks, demonstrations and tastings.
More international ingredients’ companies, manufacturers and experts took part than previous years, with exhibitors coming from China, Portugal, Thailand and many other countries.
In addition to the exhibition, 400 speakers covered wide-ranging topics such as nutrition for health and wellbeing, reformulating ingredients, sustainable food business, packaging design and strategic marketing solutions.
The content programme focused on some of the most hotly contested issues to affect the food and drink industry this year. Industry speakers were keen to voice their opinions on the impact of Brexit and the UK government’s decision to introduce a sugar tax on carbonated soft drinks, combined with an obesity strategy.
Briony Mansell-Lewis, Food Matters Live director said, “Food Matters Live pleased thousands of visitors last week, many of whom attended to find answers to a range of issues and to see first hand the latest innovations shaping the future of food and drink.
“Our priority now is to build on the success of last week’s event and to work closely with exhibitors, speakers, visitors and supporters to make Food Matters Live 2017 even better with further international appeal.”
