thinkfood LIVE: new food industry event for 2023
A new industry event is planned for the food and beverage space in 2023. Called thinkfood LIVE, the event is designed to connect food professionals with suppliers to help kick-start new product developments (NPDs) or breathe new life into existing products.
Being held at Carriageworks in Redfern, Sydney, the event will take place from 25–26 October 2023.
“thinkfood LIVE is a brand-new event concept focusing on ingredients, technology and creative services,” said Siobhan Rocks, Commercial Director at Diversified Communications Australia. “This event concept is unique to Australia so it’s an exciting and innovative opportunity for all to connect. We have developed this forum due to overwhelming demand from businesses eager to connect with the right channels to take their new product development to the next level.”
With a focus on ingredients, flavours and creating brands, the event exhibitors will also cover other key areas associated with product development such as packaging, design and test kitchens.
The event organiser is also working with associations AIFST and AIP to develop a content program that will support NPD trends.
The inaugural event is holding a launch party on Wednesday, 30 November 2022 at Carriageworks from 5 to 6.30 pm. Keynote speaker at the party will be Becky Mead, Managing Director of PLAY, who will be presenting the topic ‘How to predict FMCG trends without going around the bend’.
