Another great event, really inspiring content!

  • Kate Rivett

The speakers were inspirational from first to end.

  • Sophie Harding

The whole plant base, vegan element coming through today has given me lots to take away and inspiration for the future.

  • Mark Haynes

Thefoodpeople events are always very inspiring and thought provoking and shows us what we have to look at for development and innovation strategies for the future. Thefoodpeople has gone from UK to global, taking the trends in Australia and USA and how we can use them in the UK is very key.

  • Hannah Sibley

Really good, very informative, nice top line into what might be, quite inspiring.

  • Robert Pattinson

Really interested in the flavour trends we can translate to retail. Enjoyed those!

  • 2020 online summit attendee

The day was brilliantly run, very smooth, the speakers were all very different but all inspiring. We use the trend book all of the time, all my team use the book all the time.

  • Emma Cox

As always, you manage to gather relevant speakers with diverse content.

  • 2020 online summit attendee

What I love about the food people is that you get to sit down all day and it is really well organised. Many other conferences you have to rush from a to b and worry you might miss something, but here you just relax, listen and enjoy.

  • Lauren Rose-Smith
  • editor Tesco Magazine

Great job in tough times inspirational speakers loved listening to their stories and chat style was very relaxed and made it real.

  • 2020 online summit attendee

Ability to dip in and out, and most of all the quality of the information and speakers. The ability to access the recording of the presentation moments after the presentation was finished was great as I had to dip in and out during the day.

  • 2020 online summit attendee

Just a note to say a huge WELL DONE to you and all the TFP team on a very inspirational and thought provoking day. So much wonderful content and engaging speakers. I can only imagine how much work went into it over the last few weeks and months.

  • Annie Dunne

I just wanted to say a big thank you for the session that you hosted yesterday. I thought that there was a real breadth of speakers covering many different areas within food and drink. It has certainly brought about a number of new contacts and potential areas of opportunity. I thought that it was very well executed and managed and I really hope that it continues for the future.

  • Mat Lowry

Was an amazing event, the different themes and great speakers thank you

  • 2021 online summit attendee

Just fabulous and really enjoyed each of the speakers

  • 2021 online summit attendee

How easy it was to fit work in and around the sessions, how informative the sessions were and the fact I can catch up and also re-watch sessions

  • 2021 online summit attendee

It is of course different but being online meant that I was able to attend wherever I was while I might not have been able to travel to and attend a physical event

  • 2021 online summit attendee

Thanks again for a brilliant event - I will share with my colleagues next year this will be one not to miss for sure! thanks again

The variety from restauranteurs, drinks manufacturers to chefs themselves and loved the academic side of things too
