Following on from the success of TL&I 2012, the essential event for innovators and providers of new technologies and products, will be taking place June 27th 2013. The partnering session will allow you to spend pre-booked time with buyers and influencers from across the foodservice supply chain.

We are delighted to announce that Dan Germain, Innocent’s Head of Brand & Creative will be the Keynote Speaker at the 2013 Thought Leaders & Innovators Conference and Partnering Event. Dan has been at Innocent since its inception in 1999 and was responsible for implementing branding, tone of voice, advertising, digital and social media strategies and what an amazing job he has done too. Dan is an amazing speaker; he will be sharing some of his secrets about brand integrity and innovation in a changing world of commerce.

Taking the randomness out of an exhibition format:

The agenda, featuring a mix of presentations and Q&A panels from thought leaders on a main stage, is built around Partnering Sessions” where delegates and innovators will hold pre-booked appointments.

Using an unique online tool, Footprint Forum will ensure Innovators have at least 5 x 8 minute appointments booked with delegates leaving a further 5 discretionary appointment opportunities for delegates and partners to book directly.

Thought Leaders & Innovators will be a mixture of plenary and partnering sessions. Our partnering (buyer and supplier speed dating) software will be open to pre-arrange appointments for the day. The system will be accessible from 6th June. The business sessions will conclude with an innovators ‘farmers market’ party – innovation, drinks and wonderful food.

Last year this event was hugely popular and good relationships were established. Don’t miss out. If you have an innovation (product, organisation or initiative) you want to tell the foodservice and hospitality purchasing community about then TL&I is a must-attend for you.
